During the holiday season, our calendar is filled with family gatherings, which are often potluck. This colorful Zesty Corn Salad is sure to be a crowd pleaser every time. As a busy Mom, I love that I can make this dish ahead of time. No trying to wrangle 6 kids out the door while also cooking. And since this Zesty Corn Salad is served cold, no worry with trying to get a hot dish to the party or keeping it hot until dinner is served!

I love how easy this is to make and that it can be made in advance. I generally have all those ingredients in stock as well which makes it nice for a last minute dish.
This is the kind of salad my husband enjoys. I bet he would love this especially the olives.
Yum! That looks like a great salad! I love that there are so many different flavors, but it’s not hard to make at all.
That looks delicious and I spotted the artichokes right away because I love them! Thanks for the recipe! We’re having a potluck next month with my homeschool group and this would be perfect.
