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.
- To serve, toss the corn salad and with vinaigrette. Garnish with the green onions.
CORN SALAD WITH TOMATOES, BASIL AND CILANTRO
High summer produce comes together in this simple mix, tangy with lime juice and full of fresh herbs. Even in the height of the season, corn gets a touch sweeter when heated, and the easiest way to do it is in the microwave. It takes just a few minutes to zap the corn cobs in their husks, which makes them easy to shuck. The silks will slip right off the sweeter and still-crisp corn. Picking basil and cilantro leaves by hand then tearing them right over the salad keeps their delicate fragrance intact. Serve this with anything off the grill or alongside tacos or sandwiches.

Steps:
- Microwave the corn in their husks on high for 3 minutes. Shuck the corn - the silks will come off easily. (If you want to boil or steam the corn on the stovetop, you can shuck the corn first then cook just until brighter in color, 2 to 3 minutes.) Cut the kernels off the cobs, transfer them to a large bowl and add the tomatoes.
- Finely grate the zest of the lime directly over the corn mixture, then squeeze the juice from the lime all over. Add the oil, a generous pinch of salt and the chile, if using. Mix well, then tear the herbs over the salad and gently fold them in. Season to taste with salt and serve, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
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.

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!

Tips:
- Choose Fresh, Sweet Corn: Use fresh, sweet corn for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh corn, frozen corn can also be used.
- Use Ripe Tomatoes: Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. If you can't find ripe tomatoes, you can also use canned diced tomatoes.
- Make the Dressing Ahead of Time: The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
- Use a Variety of Herbs: Feel free to use a variety of herbs in the dressing, such as cilantro, parsley, or basil.
- Serve Immediately: Corn salad is best when served immediately after it's made. However, it can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Corn salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that's perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy side dish, give corn salad a try.
