I made for 2 and had half leftover. Used roasted frozen corn. Great for a hot summer day! Thanks!

Loved this salad! To lighten it up a bit, I used fat-free Italian dressing instead of the olive oil, otherwise made as directed. I liked the smokiness the sauteing of the corn added. Great salad for BBQ's or potlucks - thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is a five-star recipe with winter tomatoes and frozen corn. I can only imagine how good it's going to be when summer comes around!

I made for 2 and had it for lunch today. I put a little in a cheese quesadilla and ate the rest with chips. Was really fresh tasting; I loved the balsalmic vinegar, it gave it a nice bite. Will be made again next summer with fresh corn. Made for Everyday Holiday.

A very nice, refreshing summer salad. I love any salad made with balsamic vinegar so will definitely make this again!
