Corny Salad
"I saw Rachael Ray make this on one of her episodes of 30 minute meals and couldn't resist it.... It looks so good and would be wonderful with some of those fresh veggies from the garden."

Oh Corny Salad, how do I love thee...let me count the ways! YUM!!! The tangy dressing was spectacular. So many different flavors in one bite...tangy, sweet, spicy. I made a single serving, so I estimated the amounts, but everything turned out perfectly.

This salad is terrific! Flavorful, colorful, and a great dish to serve for a summer bbq. I halved the recipe; I don't care for onions so left it out and used extra red bell pepper. I added a small squirt of honey to cut the tanginess of the dressing a bit and it was great with the spicy hot sauce. Really loved this beautiful salad - thanks for sharing the recipe! -
I scaled this down for 1 person and used raw corn(Peaches and Cream-straight from the cornfield). Yum, the lime and hot sauce really made this tasty! Thanks! -
I made this for dinner tonight and really enjoyed it. I guessitamed on the amount of corn and spinach I used as I used frozen corn and had a large bag of spinach. It was really good!

I am 30 years old and I love to cook for my family of four.... I am married with two wonderful children.... That is them in the picture above.... It's a little old though.... Wesley will be five in June and Katelyn will be eight in June.... I'm always looking for new things to cook and try out on all of my family.... I'm also a teacher to 17 wonderful 3 yr. olds.... I'm always looking for quick, easy, and wonderful tasting food to fix that my whole family will enjoy... My husband is a picky meat and potatoes man.... SO, any time I fix something new that he likes, is amazing....
Wesley is like his daddy and loves to eat meat and potatoes, but he's also real good about trying other foods.... Katelyn, will eat whatever she can get her hands on.... Katelyn has some special needs and we have to watch what she eats and how she eats.... You can check out her website by clicking our link.... http://www.caringbridge.org/tx/katelyn
For fun, I enjoy sewing, scrap booking, reading, and spending time with my kids. I also like to just sit and explore recipezaar.
