Fresh Corn Salad With Honey Lime Vinaigrette
"A friend of mine brought this to a dinner party and everyone loved it. I've had it twice since then and it just might become my favorite summer salad. Its flavors are refreshing and light with a spicy kick from the jalapeno. It's a perfect side dish for grilled meat or fish. Give this one a try!
*Prep time does not include time to cook the corn. Cook time is the rest time after the salad is prepared."

I added a couple of Haas Avocados and a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Also used Poblano peppers instead of jalepeno. Oh yeah, and if the corn is sweet and fresh, you don't even need to cook it!! -
Great salad!!! I had to improvise as I don't care for the jalapeno pepper and I didn't have any spinach. But, I did add some chopped green onion and some avocado. I think some red or yellow pepper would make a nice addition also. This is a great base to add or subtract ingredients to suit your taste. Thank you for sharing, I Loved the fresh corn sweet corn, and I will be making this a lot this summer!!!! -
I used Trader Joes frozen corn in this recipe and it came out really good. There corn taste fresh off the cob. Thanks for sharing -
My husband and I love this salad. I only used 4 ears of corn. Since I don't like jalapenos, I diced one up for my husband to mix into his but left it out of mine. This is so nice and fresh, and has to be healthy, too. A very nice change from ordinary tossed salad. I made a double batch for a big family gathering, and there wasn't a bite left over. -
Very good and different salad which we enjoyed. Thanks for sharing!

I am the mother of four boys--two sons and two stepsons. I am also the grandmother of one very sweet and precocious 3 yr old boy. I was once a healthcare administrator but quit a few years ago to stay home with my youngest. Since he has started to school, I am back to working part time.
<br> Next to my family, cooking is my passion. I have a wonderful husband who will try anything. He is my biggest fan and a discerning critic. A couple of years ago, we started a dinner club with friends who enjoy our passion for good food. We have shared many wonderful meals together.
<br> My favorite cookbook would have to be a family cookbook that my mom and cousin and I put together a couple of years ago. We shared all the favorites that had been passed down through the generations as well as new favorites.
<br> My biggest pet peeve is picky eaters who refuse to try anything new. It bothers me more with adults than with kids, but I love that my six year old will eat just about anything I put in front of him. There is something very gratifying about "grooming" the next generation of foodies.
