Expert Tips

If you have leftover corn on the cob, cut the corn off the cob and use 2 cups of it instead of the canned corn.

It is delicious and great for the summer, very refreshing. Instead of salsa I used fresh chopped tomatoes and onions. Also I did substitute the canned corn for frozen one. It was a big it!

I was looking for a salad to make with ingredients I already had on hand, and this fit the bill perfectly. I love "Mexican" food, and this was really good. I took it to a family gathering and it was a big hit. I added fresh lime juice and avacado at the last minute, which I think gave it a fresh, citrusy taste. I would definitely serve this again!
