I made this recipe as a side dish for a spicy beer can chicken, thinking it would be a nice combo of zip (taste) and cool (by serving it chilled). While I thought it would be an okay accompaniment, I had no idea it would be the hit that it was. Everyone who tried it ended up getting seconds. My husband voted it "a keeper"; he just asked that I saute' the onions a little longer next time as he's not a big fan of crunchy onions, preferring them softer.
I only made one change to this recipe and that was to use frozen corn, which I "nuked" to thaw out before adding it to the other ingredients waiting in the skillet. The only reason was that it's not "corn season" yet, and I was too impatient to wait that long to give it a try.
Absolutely wonderful. I used what I had on hand: frozen corn (about 3 cups) a little yellow onion and a regular tomato. I sauted the corn onion and garlic in 2 T butter and then added the tomato jalepeno cilantro (about a 1/4 bunch) chopped green onion and lemon pepper and salt. Yummy!
Great salad! I had some left over roasted corn so I used that vs. microwaving. I also left out the melted butter and did a dressing made of olive oil, lime juice and a bit of sugar whisked together with a few dashes of salt and pepper. I poured that over top and let the salad chill for a couple hours before serving. I would definitely make this again.
A great light side dish! Perfect served chilled. I grilled the ears of corn, added avocado and black-eyed peas, and took out the peppers and it was very good.
I added a little lime juice cut way back on the butter left out the jalepeno (kids were eating this) and added diced red peppers. I also pickeled the red onions in rice wine vinegar over night then added them to the salad. AWESOME!!!!!
The cilantro in this recipe is overpowering.
Black beans never hurt this recipe either.
Delicious salad. I sauted the corn (after boiling the ears of corn and cutting off cob) red bell pepper and red onion in the butter for about 5 minutes. I didn't use the garlic. Then after this mix chilled... I added the cilantro and tomato and spices. I served it in the center of a bed of leaf lettuce salad. The presentation was pretty and it was a hit at a dinner party.
Excellent side dish to our enchiladas.
