I adapted this recipe from
Martha Stewart. I have used the corn salad in a number of different ways. The recipe is a great vegetarian taco. I would add a little avocado. I add some grilled skirt steak for a meat version. I rub a little olive oil, lime juice and salt and grill the skirt steak and cut it into strips. It can also be used as a side dish or salsa.
