This Creamy Corn Salad Is Good—But the Boursin Dressing Is What Dreams Are Made Of

Everyone's favorite easy-spread appetizer cheese is more versatile than you think. Boursin is light and airy enough that it can easily mix into a salad dressing made with your most common pantry ingredients, and it conveniently packs big garlic and herb flavor so you can whip up an exceptional salad dressing—fast.

We used the classic Boursin garlic and herb cheese, but any soft, spreadable cheese with a similar flavor profile will do. Whisk it together with olive oil and apple cider vinegar for a tangy dressing that will be the talk of the picnic table. Drizzle over fruits and vegetables, or toss with hearty greens for an unforgettable dressing at your next grill-out or potluck.

What Pairs with the Creamy Dressing

For this creamy salad dressing, we like substantial ingredients that hold up to the big flavor of the garlic and herb cheese. Sweet corn and plums balance out the savory nature of the dressing, plus they don't get soggy when prepped a few hours ahead. The basil and scallions add garden-fresh elements that tie it all together. If prepping the morning of, hold the corn and plum salad in the fridge and add your basil leaves just before serving.
