This was an awesome corn salad. I loved the combination of corn, sweet onions and tomatoes with the semi tart dressing. I didn't care for the red bell pepper for some reason. Just didn't seem to fit for us. The hint of heat from the jalapeno was nice. I used rice wine vinegar and a little splenda to soften the tartness of the dressing. I'll be making this all the time this summer. Thanks MG for a great summer time recipe.
