P.J.'s Fresh Corn Salad

Grilled the corn before cutting it off the cob, added celery and some Hatch green chilies. Added the spice mix from this website and chopped cilantro.

Nothing not to like here, it’s just delicious. Really sweet, fresh corn is key. I think you’ll have to use your judgment on how much corn to use depending on the size of the ear of corn. I had to make one sub because I had no Italian dressing on hand. I used Skinny Girl ™ balsamic vinaigrette, and I would use that again. I scaled this down to 2 servings, had 2 large ears, and had I used all that I cut off the cob, the corn would’ve overwhelmed the other veggies. In a single word, I would describe this as “refreshing,” and simply perfect for a summer meal.

I love everything in this salad, and the combination of all of the flavors and textures together is great! The salad is colorful and makes a great presentation. I used light italian dressing and sprinkled with a little garlic salt as well. Will be enjoying this with all of that summer corn.

Huge hit! Made this while visiting my boyfriend's family and they all loved it. The only change I made was from red onion to green; raw red onion is a little strong for my taste. I didn't really measure the dressing; topped with some cracked black pepper and voila!
