CORN SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE
I threw this salad together with ingredients I had in my kitchen one evening. This light and tasty alternative to a regular salad will accompany Mexican dishes perfectly. This also works well served as a dip with tortilla chips and tastes even better a day after making it. Serve as a side dish or as a dip with chips and salsa.

Steps:
- For the cumin-lime vinaigrette: Add the rice vinegar, cumin, honey, mustard, garlic, lime zest and juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a blender. Blend on low speed, then raise the speed to high and blend until everything is pureed. While on high speed, slowly add the canola oil to emulsify. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
- For the grilled street corn salad: Preheat the grill to medium-high. Ina bowl, toss the okra, corn, red peppers and poblano with the canola oil to coat, then place on the grill. Grill the corn and okra until lightly charred; set aside to cool. Grill the peppers until the skin is charred black; transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam (this helps remove the skin). Once the peppers are cool, peel off the skin, remove the seeds and cut into small dice; add to a bowl. Cut the kernels off the corn and add to the bowl. Slice the okra into 1/4-inch rounds; add to the bowl. Add the parsley, tomatoes and red onions, and toss. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

CORN SALAD WITH SIMPLE VINAIGRETTE
This is a yummy salad made with fresh corn. Feel free to change up the add-ins to your liking. Also, if you don't want to mess with making the dressing (but it is really simple) you can just use Girard's Champagne Vinaigrette or Brianna's Classic French Vinaigrette - both readily available at most grocery stores.

Steps:
- For the corn, brush it with olive oil or spray it with cooking spray and char it on the grill, or if you have a gas stove, you can do it right on the burner. Just put it on and rotate until the corn begins to brown and char a little. This adds another layer of flavor to the dish - but you can skip it if you like and the salad will still be delicious!
- Once the corn is cool, cut it off the cob and place it in a bowl. Add the red onion, red bell peppers, avocados and jalapeno. Sprinkle on the Nature's Season and toss to mix well.
- Next, if you are making the dressing, mix the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar, mustard, and lime juice well. You can either whisk it in a bowl or whiz it up in your blender. Alternatively - if you don't want to make the dressing you can just use 1/3 cup of Girard's Champagne Vinaigrette or Brianna's Classic French Vinaigretee.
- Pour the dressing over the salad in the bowl and mix well to coat. Let the salad sit in the fridge for 30-60 mins to chill and let the flavors blend. Right before serving crumble up the Cojita cheese and sprinkle it on top of the salad and serve!

FRESH CORN SALAD WITH HONEY LIME VINAIGRETTE
A friend of mine brought this to a dinner party and everyone loved it. I've had it twice since then and it just might become my favorite summer salad. Its flavors are refreshing and light with a spicy kick from the jalapeno. It's a perfect side dish for grilled meat or fish. Give this one a try! *Prep time does not include time to cook the corn. Cook time is the rest time after the salad is prepared.

Tips:
- For the freshest corn salad, use kernels straight off the cob. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well.
- Choose a variety of vegetables for your salad. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and bell peppers. You can also add herbs, such as cilantro or basil, for extra flavor.
- Make sure to rinse your vegetables thoroughly before adding them to the salad. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- If you're using a store-bought lime vinaigrette, be sure to taste it before adding it to the salad. You may want to add a little bit of honey or sugar to sweeten it, or some salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the salad immediately, or chill it in the refrigerator for later. Corn salad is best enjoyed within a few hours of making it.
Conclusion:
Corn salad is a refreshing and delicious side dish that's perfect for summer cookouts and picnics. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. With its bright flavors and vibrant colors, corn salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
