Cilantro Tomato Corn Salad image

Very quick and tasty sidedish that can be altered to taste, almost every ingredient except the corn is optional. Very pretty side dish also. I've made this for many different people and haven't had one complaint yet. It's especially good if you just don't have the time to cook but don't want junk food.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 ears fresh corn in husks
¼ cup butter, melted
2 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
½ small red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch salt-free lemon-herb seasoning (such as Mrs. Dash)

Steps:

  • Peel back corn husks, but leave them attached at the bottom. Remove the silks, and fold husks back up over the corn. Place on a dinner plate, and cook in the microwave for 5 minutes on High power, turning corn once half way through. Cool until cool enough to touch, then slice corn kernels from the cob and place them in a serving bowl.
  • Stir butter into the corn along with the tomatoes, jalapeno, red onion, garlic and cilantro. Season with salt, pepper, and seasoning blend. Mix well, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Some people like the salad warm, but I prefer to chill it a little before serving.

I'm allergic to cilantro, so I substituted parsley instead. The salad was still delicious!

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out mushy. I think I may have overcooked the corn.

I've tried this salad several times and I've never been able to get it right. The instructions are unclear and the ingredients don't always work well together.

This salad was a disappointment. The flavors were bland and the dressing was too runny.

This is a great salad to make ahead of time. The flavors meld together even better after it sits for a while.
