A friend shared this recipe with me and it is AMAZING! It has so much more flavor than you would think. It's very light and cool - perfect for the summer!

This is a very good & refreshing salad. I didn't have mozzarella cheese, so I used fresh shredded parmessan, it was still very easy & tasty!!

This salad is delicious, and the vinaigrette is easy to make and again, delicious! Thanks for sharing.

Very unusual recipe with the corn added. I must confess to taking the easy way out and using thawed frozen corn which worked beautifully. It was delicious and will definitely be a repeat in my kitchen. Thanks Jovi, you have great recipes.
