MEDITERRANEAN CORN SALAD
A simple salad best served at room temperature, so it's perfect for summer BBQs and potlucks. I think some marinated artichokes and some sundried tomatoes would be good additions to this recipe as well. I also throw in about 1/2 tsp of Greek seasoning in mine. Recipe from Dierberg's Everybody Cooks.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. - Red onion is a classic ingredient in Mediterranean corn salad. White or yellow onion can be substituted, if needed. - If you don't have a lemon on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice. Use half the amount called for in the recipe, as bottled lemon juice is more concentrated. - Serve the salad immediately after making it, or the corn will start to toughen. - For a spicier salad, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
