Southwest Salad image

Friends served us this wonderful salad when we were vacationing in Arizona. My husband particularly liked the fresh-tasting citrus-flavored dressing, and asked me to be sure to get the recipe. It's since become one of our family's favorites. We think it's especially good served with a chicken casserole. -Sharon Evans, Clear Lake, Iowa

This salad is a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. I also like to add some grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a more substantial meal.
