Colorful Roasted Corn Salad image

I came up with this recipe when needing a colorful side dish to go with mild chicken enchiladas and which needed to be low spice, low acid, and without beans, tomatoes, peppers, or onions. Hope you enjoy.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out beautifully. The colors were so vibrant and the flavors were spot-on. I loved the addition of the goat cheese, it gave the salad a nice creamy texture.

For my palette, the flavors were a tad overwhelming. I felt like the dressing was a bit too strong and masked the natural sweetness of the corn.

This roasted corn salad is a delightful explosion of flavors and textures. The sweetness of the corn, the crunch of the bell peppers, and the tanginess of the dressing come together perfectly. It's a great side dish for summer barbecues or potlucks.
