This recipe makes a lot of salad so beware! Mine was rather watery. I added more blueberries than originally called for. It was a good 4th of July side dish and a different way to serve the flavors of summer.

Fabulous taste. Impressive presentation - corn cut off the cob does the trick:) So easy too.

I this recipe in BHG also but my DH wouldn't let me make it. But his mother found it in the mag at an office waiting room and she made it last weekend and it was delish. EXTREMELY refreshing!!

I also saw this recipe in the same magazine. It is a very strange combination of ingredients that is absolutely wonderful. We have tons of fresh corn right now so I had to try it. My kids and husband loved it and they don't usually eat things like this. There was an argument over the leftovers, but I won because I had already eaten them by the time my teenagers got out of bed the next day. This is a must try recipe

I am so glad you posted this recipe. I made it last month for a crowd and forgot where I put it. Everyone enjoyed it and said it was delicious. The only thing I changed was I didn't have any honey so I used Agave Syrup. For my own preference, I think I will add an additional jalapeno for extra zip next time.
