Mexican Corn Salad





Is it a side dish? Or is it a relish? This Mexican Corn Salad can be either—depending on your menu.

Put a dollop of the salad on top of grilled salmon or tilapia for a south-of-the-border garnish. Or add black beans from a can (drained and rinsed) to serve as a main dish. If you use fresh sweet corn, the flavors will pop. Use frozen corn and the dish will be ready in a jiffy.

  3. Who can't make a good fried chicken burger? These brands certainly can. But then so can the small fast food place in your area. But what sets these super successful brands apart from that small shop? It's their branding, of course. wholesale mid joint wings
