We liked this recipe a lot because it's very flavorful. As I've had a chance to adjust the recipe to our taste, it's evolved into something that we enjoy often. We substitute lime juice for the lemon juice and significantly increase the amount. I use frozen corn and instead of the fresh parsely leaves I use a lot of cilantro. As mentioned by another reviewer, I throw in a good pinch of sea salt. Usually, I substitute a finely minced red onion for the scallion. I also find that the flavors in this salad improve greatly as it sits, so I try to make it the evening before we want to eat it. This is a staple at our house! It's very versatile and my kids love it with some chips or to roll into a tortilla. Thank you for posting it!
