This colorful, tasty corn salad is an excellent way to perk up a summer picnic. The seasonings add a bold, refreshing Southwestern flavor that brings people back for seconds. It's nice to have a different kind of salad to share. -Helen Koedel, Hamilton, Ohio

I have made this salad several times since seeing it in the magazine. It has always been a big hit as a salad or salsa with chips. I will make it again in a few weeks.

This is a favorite for our family. I serve it with BBQ or any smoked meats in the summer. I add jalapeno's to taste (3 or 4 for us, we like it spicy). I have used red onion instead of green and that works great too. Fresh grilled corn is delicious if you live in corn country. The secret is the dressing and it is fantastic!

This is such delicious change of pace from the normal tossed salad or pasta salad on a buffet table. I took this to a church pot luck and it was one of the first dishes to be emptied. Everyone raved about the fresh flavor.

I have been making this side dish for years. Not a fan of celery so I added a diced jalepeno to kick it up a notch. Love it !

This was a great salad!! I took it to a BBQ and it was gone in no time. I also made it again, and we served it on top of grilled venison steak - it was excellent!

This was fantastic! I used half of the cumin and next time I'll use a little less celery so the flavor isn't quite so strong. I ended up processing some up for my young son and loved it that way, too! I made a sandwich of it - warm or cold it was great!
