This was very good. I made it as a quick side so I didn't have time to chill it. I just ran the corn under cold water after roasting it. Also, I didn't have the salad greens so I used about half a package of baby spinach which I chopped up. Like another reviewer I don't think there was enough corn for all of the greens. Because there was less bulk I only used about half of the dressing. I will definitely make it again.
Greens with Roasted Corn and Pepper Salad
Roast the corn up to 2 days ahead. Combine the corn with all but the greens and pine nuts an hour before dinner, then finish assembling the salad just before serving.
