Well it has been an unusually warm spring here in New Mexico. We are seeing mid 90’s all week. Time to make some cool, crisp, and delicious salads. I bought some sweet corn at the local growers market and was inspired to make a quick and easy dinner for my family. Wanting to incorporate the fresh sweet corn into my meal, I thought of this beautiful combination of flavors to create a tasty and beautiful Sweet Corn Salad. This salad is filled with layers of delicious goodness with mixed baby greens, Campari tomatoes, carrots, celery, blue cheese crumbles, and fresh sweet corn. I paired it with a red chile vinaigrette. I know you will love this Recipe.
