I loved this. It made a great marinade/dressing and the sweetness of the corn was a great contrast to the tangy heat of the BBQ sauce. My boyfriend actually asked me to make it two nights in a row he liked it so much. Between the shrimp, corn and zucchini however, the greens just got a bit lost. It wasn't really a salad as much as BBQ shrimp and vegetables with the occasional leaf in it. Either way, it was delicious.
