A really quick and delicious side dish. I also added a diced red pepper and a clove of garlic. I also added a dash of cumin to the dressing, along with a bit of sugar. It got rave reviews. I plan to eat the leftovers as a dip with tortilla chips.
Substituted shallot for onion, but that's the only change. Delicious!
Solid recipe. Had yellow pepper on hand so added that and a little coriander (because I didn’t have cilantro) and Mexican oregano (probably too strong for this application). Subbed green onion. I think avocado would be a good addition and make it more of a meal.

Add garlic, cumin and smoked paprika.
I recommend making this the day before you plan on serving it to give the flavors a chance to develop overnight in the fridge. Also I used a can of niblet corn, drained, instead of fresh. There were no leftovers.
