bojmom's Note:

This recipe originally came from Food and Wine Magazine's website, but my friend, Kendra, changed it up a little bit. It is so fresh and delicious tasting.

I really enjoyed this - but you have to be a fan of tart dressings. Delicious fresh salad to go with some sandwiches.

this had so much flavor! i used the raw corn, cut fresh off the cob. it was sweet enough on its own i didn't need to add the splenda. i also reduced the oil to 2 tablespoons, and used pickled jalapenos. lots of tastes going on here to wake up your mouth!

Thanks, bojmom for a great dinner. I made this exactly as written from fresh picked corn. Awesome!
