It's nice, chilled is even better, but the onions were the cause of it not being extremely tasty. May I suggest you add few chopped olives instead of the onions. Otherwise, it was indeed a tongue tickler.

I loved the idea of this one, but was disappointed with how it came out. I'll experiment with the idea in the future -- but with some major changes. The lemon flavor was sharp and overwhelming, instead of fresh and crisp. Maybe less lemon, or different spices would work better.

This was simple to make and tasted wonderful. I added some chopped roma tomatoes and bell pepper. SUPERB

This is a great salad to add your own touch. I added chopped red onion, chopped tomato, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Great taste!!! So easy, I had the fresh cooked corn in the frige. Everyone loved it.
