Fresh Corn Salad With Honey Lime Vinaigrette

"A friend of mine brought this to a dinner party and everyone loved it. I've had it twice since then and it just might become my favorite summer salad. Its flavors are refreshing and light with a spicy kick from the jalapeno. It's a perfect side dish for grilled meat or fish. Give this one a try! *Prep time does not include time to cook the corn. Cook time is the rest time after the salad is prepared."

  1. I added a couple of Haas Avocados and a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Also used Poblano peppers instead of jalepeno. Oh yeah, and if the corn is sweet and fresh, you don't even need to cook it!!
     
  2. Great salad!!! I had to improvise as I don't care for the jalapeno pepper and I didn't have any spinach. But, I did add some chopped green onion and some avocado. I think some red or yellow pepper would make a nice addition also. This is a great base to add or subtract ingredients to suit your taste. Thank you for sharing, I Loved the fresh corn sweet corn, and I will be making this a lot this summer!!!!
     
  3. I used Trader Joes frozen corn in this recipe and it came out really good. There corn taste fresh off the cob. Thanks for sharing
     
  4. My husband and I love this salad. I only used 4 ears of corn. Since I don't like jalapenos, I diced one up for my husband to mix into his but left it out of mine. This is so nice and fresh, and has to be healthy, too. A very nice change from ordinary tossed salad. I made a double batch for a big family gathering, and there wasn't a bite left over.
     
  5. Very good and different salad which we enjoyed. Thanks for sharing!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am the mother of four boys--two sons and two stepsons. I am also the grandmother of one very sweet and precocious 3 yr old boy. I was once a healthcare administrator but quit a few years ago to stay home with my youngest. Since he has started to school, I am back to working part time. <br> Next to my family, cooking is my passion. I have a wonderful husband who will try anything. He is my biggest fan and a discerning critic. A couple of years ago, we started a dinner club with friends who enjoy our passion for good food. We have shared many wonderful meals together. <br> My favorite cookbook would have to be a family cookbook that my mom and cousin and I put together a couple of years ago. We shared all the favorites that had been passed down through the generations as well as new favorites. <br> My biggest pet peeve is picky eaters who refuse to try anything new. It bothers me more with adults than with kids, but I love that my six year old will eat just about anything I put in front of him. There is something very gratifying about "grooming" the next generation of foodies. <br><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <br><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <br><img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg"> <br><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif">
