Yummy. I did not have a fresh chipolte chili so I used 1/2 half of the of a canned chili in adobo sauce with seeds which provided suficient heat. There was lots of dressing so a little more corn (had plenty) went into the salad. While the combinatio of chili and lime is classic, the addition of the fresh thyme offered this salad a lovely twist. A definite keeper.

I knew I would love this because these are some of my favorite veggies and lime, garlic & thyme are some of my favorite flavors. I'm temporarily without my blender, so I just minced the chipotle pepper very fine then shook the dressing ingredients together in a jar. I also did not bother to chill first and it still tasted great to me. I have leftovers so I'll be interested to see tomorrow how this tastes after a night in the fridge--probably even better! I had this with my Finger-Licking Chicken Marinade #88939, which also has thyme & garlic; despite this similarity I liked them together.
