blueberry, cucumber and sweet corn salad

Blueberries and corn are a long weekend necessity, and if you haven't tried this winning combination it is a MUST! The sweet, crunchy combination is to me, the epitome of summer. This dip should come with a warning...it is incredibly addictive and I promise it will become an instant favourite. Serve it with your favourite raincoast crisps® - this delish concoction will suit them all.
