This is a great salad. I was able to use our amazing local corn for which people come from all over New Mexico. NM is known for its chiles. I added a bit extra of the fire roasted green chiles and used authentic New Mexico red chile powder. I didn't have enough lemon juice, so I supplemented the remainder with lime juice. I think next time I'll use just the lime juice as that is what is used in more Mexican dishes. I wanted some extra color and taste, so I added red bell peppers (unroasted) and added avocado just prior to serving. I took the salad to a church potluck and got rave reviews.Reply
