Comments
This salad hits the mark for Charlotte summers, relying almost entirely on ingredients you'll find at any major chain—corn, cucumber, and mayonnaise are staples at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, and ALDI. The real cost driver is fresh basil and chives, which run $2 to $3 combined but are standard produce carries, not specialty stops. The 20-minute claim is honest: chopping basil, chives, and cucumber, then mixing with mayo takes exactly that. The dish feeds five as a side, though it's mayo-heavy enough to need accompanying proteins and won't hold well past the same meal—leftovers separate and turn watery within hours, so plan to serve it fresh.
