Made with fresh corn, green onions, celery and red peppers. At this point the recipe turned south of the border ;-) used cilantro instead of parsley, and red wine vinegar instead of raspberry vinegar!<br/>Also added in finely minced jalapeno! And the results were . . . EXCELLENT! Thanks for sharing Amy!

Made this with fresh corn (while I can, since it's in season!) & this salad had such a great taste because of that, I'm sure! The only change I made was to use lemon pepper in place of the S&P! A GREAT, GREAT RECIPE, & thank you for sharing it! [Tagged, made & reviewed for my chosen chef in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 13]
