This recipe was a huge hit! I and served for a retirement party at my office. It was devoured and I had multiple request for the recipe!
That’s so awesome, thank you for your feedback. I really appreciate it. Will share it with a reader.
Yummy! Amendments to recipe: parsley instead of cilantro fur those who don’t like c. Doubled garlic. Fresh lime juice instead of lemon. Added hickory smoke to dressing. May add to searing the corn next time.
