Corn Salad with Lime Vinaigrette Recipe
Corn salad with lime vinaigrette was thrown together using ingredients available in the kitchen, creating light and tasty alternatives to heavy preparations with bright, fresh approaches. This spontaneous recipe demonstrates how creativity with available ingredients can produce exceptional results while the light quality makes this perfect for warm weather. The lime vinaigrette adds brightness while corn provides natural sweetness.

I threw this salad together with ingredients I had in my kitchen one evening. This light and tasty alternative to a regular salad will accompany Mexican dishes perfectly. This also works well served as a dip with tortilla chips and tastes even better a day after making it. Serve as a side dish or as a dip with chips and salsa.
