This is a favorite fresh corn recipe for any summer gathering. I have made it many times always to rave reviews. It is light and has a delightful mix of flavors. The fresh corn is a must for me but I often substitute frozen limas. I also use lime instead of lemon juice and saute some thinly sliced multi-colored baby bell pepper rings before the corn goes in. Fabulous!!

Very tasty and easy to prepare. Low in fat, not a lot of "dressing" taste. I prepared this for a large family dinner and everyone enjoyed it. Can be made ahead so there is no last minute salad prep.
