I had leftover grilled corn on the cob and this was the perfect way to use it up. Because it was already cooked, I omitted the butter and mixed the spices into the salad. It's a nice combination of flavors and colors. You must use fresh cilantro. I think cooked shrimp would be great tossed into this salad. Thanx for posting!
