  • “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.”

  • “Made exactly as written and it was great!!”

  • “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.”

  • “This is incredible!It is truly summer in a salad bowl. I made this exactly as written and loved it.Thanks.”
