Very good! I used frozen corn kernels to make this. While it would be improved with fresh grilled corn, we enjoyed the salad. Served with Black Bean Pumpkin Soup for the CQ4.

Very tasty. Good way to use tomatoes and corn which are abundant now. My broiler conked out, but I grilled them on the gas burner. Next time I'll use less onion.

We all loved this salad very much. For this recipe I boilled the corn for about 10 minutes before putting it under the broiler. I used the recipe as described using tomatoes, arugula, cilantro and parsley from the garden, and honey form our bees (we are beekeper),,,,the other ingredients form the shop. Using fresh corn for a salad makes a great difference especially if it was grilled before. Thanks a lot for this healthy and yummy salad!

Really liked this! I was a bit heavy handed on the honey, and wish I hadn't been, my dressing was a tad too sweet, but like I said, used a touch more than the recipe called for, so my own fault. The colors are beautiful and the flavor is lovely! Thanks for posting. Made for Culinary Quest 2014, PNW Region.
