"I stumbled across this recipe last summer when I needed something to make for my sister's wedding reception. The family loved it, so I took it to a pot luck at work and they loved it too."

I've taken this salad to two BBQ's and it's been a big hit! The sweet, smokiness of the roasted corn, spicy jalapeno and cool onion flavors are great together on a hot summer afternoon.

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.
