I'm always looking for new and exciting salad recipes, and this one definitely fits the bill. The combination of corn, purple potatoes, and red onion is unique and flavorful, and the dressing is the perfect finishing touch.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.

I thought this salad was just okay. The dressing was a bit bland and the potatoes were undercooked.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's because I used too much lime juice. Next time I'll use less.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover corn and potatoes. It's also very versatile - I added some black beans and avocado to mine and it was delicious.

Easy to make and delicious. I used fresh corn from my garden and the salad was so fresh and flavorful. The dressing was perfect, not too tangy and not too bland.

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! The combination of corn, purple potatoes, and red onion was unique and flavorful. I especially liked the tangy dressing made with lime juice and cilantro. Will definitely be making this again.
