Tasty Fish Tacos and Fresh Corn Salad

Thank you to Vidalia Onions for partnering with me on this post. As always, all opinions and thoughts remain my own.

I love the summertime because it means spending time outside and catching some rays. Additionally, it means serving up some delicious (and healthy) recipes for easy summer entertaining. That’s why I’m excited to share my go-to tasty fish tacos and fresh corn salad recipes with you.

To make these recipes what they are, I used Vidalia Onions in both of them. Vidalia Onions are sweeter than regular onions and they’re only available until August. They really complemented my recipes, as Vidalia Onions add flavour and sweetness to a wide variety of chef-inspired dishes to accompany all different kinds of meals. Additionally, these onions have a distinctive taste which comes all the from Georgia.

These tasty fish tacos have a hint of sweetness thanks to Vidalia Onions which in contrast pair well with spicier toppings such as cilantro and jalapeños. In fact, I’m a huge fan of tacos, especially for entertaining because they’re easy to whip up and having an abundance of different toppings is always fun.

Next up, you can’t go wrong with a delicious fresh corn salad. Salads are a huge staple in my household, especially in the summer because who doesn’t love eating fresh ingredients that don’t require too much time cooking over a hot stove? I’ve been really trying to make a conscious effort to eat healthier and that means finding healthy recipes that are actually filling.

Corn salad is easy to make and I find that it’s always a crowd favourite. The Vidalia Onions in particular add just the right amount of sweetness to the salad and the medley of flavours worked so well together. This corn salad features corn, fresh tomatoes, chopped Vidalia Onions, fresh basil from the garden, and some delicious olive oil poured on top. Not only is this a winning recipe to make for guests, but it’s easy and quick to put together for a busy weeknight dinner.
