Corn Salad, corn, jalapeño and honey mixed together www.atwistedplate.com/corn-salad/

Fresh Corn Salad is delicious with a sweet and spicy twist. Best served cold and made with honey, apple cider vinegar, and jalapeño. Perfect for a hot summer day or your next cookout. The jalapeño and honey give it a little zest without too much punch. Not only is it delicious, but it is also easy to make and can be made well before any event. The longer it sits, the better the flavor gets!!

How to make Corn Salad:

Start by bringing 6 cups of water to a boil (you want enough water to cover the ears of corn). Peel and clean the fresh ears of corn. Once cleaned, add the corn to the boiling water, and reduce the heat to medium-high for 7 minutes. At the same time, the corn is cooking, chop up the jalapeño and onion. You can leave the seeds if you want more of a kick or remove them if you don't want them too spicy. In a sauté pan, cook on low for 5 minutes to allow the jalapeño and onion to soften. It adds a fantastic flavor to the Fresh Corn Salad. After the corn is finished cooking (fork tender), cut it off the ears. Combine the corn, jalapeño, onion honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Put in a sealable container in the fridge and allow to sit for a few hours so the amazing flavors can combine!

You can easily adapt this recipe to your taste. If you like a little more "kick," add more jalapeño! If you want it a little sweeter, add more honey. No matter how you like, you can't go wrong. Remember, the flavors need to marinade for a few hours; you can always add more after it has been in the fridge for a few hours.

ENJOY!
