I started making this recipe when my corn loving son's two fron teeth were loose so he could no longer eat it on the cob. He finally lost the teeth, but we are still eating this salad. - rebsilver —rebsilver
Test Kitchen Notes
Rebsilver's salad is so simple, only a few ingredients all brought together with a delicious vinaigrette. The grilled corn with avocado and queso fresco are a perfect match and when lightly tossed with the lime vinaigrette this salad really comes to life. Crunchy, sweet, creamy and oh-so-delicious. It works well as a side or on its own (It was my dinner last night). I made one change in the vinaigrette, using the juice of two limes instead of one, I felt that it needed the extra citrus to balance the amount of olive oil in the dressing. Rebsilver really delivered a stellar recipe and I highly recommend you try it -- I know I will be making it over and over again. —sdebrango
