This is one great recipe, Rebecca. I made it with Ahi tuna and since we're trying to avoid sugar whenever possible, I substituted olive oil for the honey. It was terrific. Made with fresh corn, there was just a hint of sweetness in my favorite part, the bean and corn salad. I'd make this recipe for the salad alone. It's that good. I let the bean and corn salad chill before serving on the bed of spinach. Give this one a try. You won't be sorry.
