This is very yummy! Only add was chopped celery for added crunch. Everyone loved it and many were disappointed there were no leftovers- we fed a big crowd! Hit!
Outstanding recipe Brian and really quick to make! I grilled the corn the night before for dinner and used the leftover ears for this salad. I also added 1 jalapeno pepper in addition to a red pepper and increased the lime juice – this was super delicious side dish next to any grilled meats, tacos or hot dogs!
This recipe is simple, and delicious.
I made this, taking away some ingredients and changing others, overall though I followed the recipe and really enjoyed this dish. I served it with tacos and it was just wonderful.
This salad is muy flavorful. Of course, being from California I had to add an avocado, which made it just that more delicioso. This recipe made me one happy Gringo, or is that Gringa…I need to take Spanish lessons. As a side note, I absolutely love Brian’s show and I am looking forward to seeing new episodes. He never fails to make me laugh!
This salad will be served at the upoming University of Oregon at University of Arizona game on Sept 24, 2011. It’s a perfect combination of Duck colors! I will take the advice of bakingdiva87 and add cilantro…extra green, and will use Trader Joe’s frozen roasted corn for extra ease and yellow, you know! GO DUCKS and thanks Brian!
Delightful Salad!I sliced up some sweet peppers & Onion,rub some EVOO on them and grilled them. I added some cilantro tossed all together it was very good.roasting the peppers and onion makes a great flavor to the salad.
Excellent Salad! I have made this several times and it “Tastes as good as it looks.” I would definitely use a red bell pepper for even more color next time, as the yellow bell pepper in the recipe, just blends in with all of the yellow corn. Served with a Mojito Lime Pork Tenderloin and Sauteed Zucchini. Tastes even better the 2nd day. Tomorrow I’ll be serving it with Grilled Tilapia and Steamed Broccoli. Great summertime favorite at our house.
WOW! This salad was fantastic! I didnt have a grill at the time, so I took a 1 pound bag of frozen corn right out of the freezer, tossed it all in a bowl with the marinade to coat well, and then fried it in a nice hot skillet to get that little charred effect and flavor to it…..I also added 2 cups of freshly diced tomatoes to the salad……I will definitely be making this recipe again, especially for nice summer picnic type meals.
I just made this salad as a side dish for my traditional Mexican dinner. It was a giant hit!!! Everyone enjoyed it – even my brother who doesn’t like salads in general.
I LOVE Brian’s show – entertaining and fun – I can’t wait to make more meals from his recipes! Thanks Brian for such a wonderful show!!!
