Made this tonight and it was outstanding. Flavorful, colorful, light and delicious. I used a whole grain penne pasta that I had on hand, frozen sweet corn and packaged Maine lobster from Whole Foods. The citrus vinaigrette would be nice on other salads too. Just a little sweet but not too much. Definitely a keeper.
