SPICY FRESH CORN SALAD
I was gifted some Cajun-flavored mayonnaise and wasn't sure what to do with it until I spotted fresh corn at the grocery store. I thought the sweetness of the corn would contrast nicely with the spicy mayonnaise, and I was right! Serve with grilled or fried shrimp, or with any summery chicken dish.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn on the cob for the best flavor. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
- Be sure to cook the corn until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- Don't overcook the bacon. It should be crispy but not burnt.
- Use a good quality Cajun seasoning. You can find this at most grocery stores or online.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
