This corn salad is really an easy recipe. It's so easy you can take it on a long bike ride to the Botanic Gardens where you can ask someone to marry you, or be asked to marry someone.
That's what B and I did at least.
And now we call this simple one-skillet dish Engagement Corn Salad. It's delicious. And super easy:
- Chop up some (turkey) bacon and let it grill a bit.
- Add some chopped onion. Let the bacon and onion hang out together.
- Add corn (we used 3 cups frozen corn, but fresh is better, of course).
- At the last moment add some tomatoes.
- Dress with lime juice, cilantro and scallions.
We've added cheese, pepper, avocado - all sorts of extras change up this dish. This is the basic form, and I can guarantee it will travel at least 23 miles by bike.
Produce Used
- Delightful tiny tomatoes
- Scallions
- Cilantro
- Corn (frozen but still produce, right?)
- Lime

I want to try this one again. You and Brian made it for us after Nora was born. I had a couple of bites but that was when I was having stomach issues. Looks SOO good!
Roast the corn on a grill or in the oven; you'll be in heaven. The smokey corn + bacon will meld and the dish will take on a whole new richness. If you find it's too heavy, a couple splashes of vinegar or lime juice will really brighten it up.
