Steps:
- Microwave the corn on a microwave-safe plate on high for 7 minutes. Remove from the microwave, and grip the corn with a dish towel. Then cut off the bottom end with a serrated knife. Slide the corn out of the husk. It should come out fairly easily with none of the silky string mess.
- Brush the corn with olive oil, then place on a cast iron grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill for 5-6 minutes on each side, until the kernels are slightly charred.
- Insert the narrow end of an ear of corn into the center hole of a bundt pan. Holding the corn steady with one hand, saw off the kernels with a serrated knife. The kernels will fall into the pan for easy collection.
- Make the cilantro-lime vinaigrette: Combine the cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, honey, salt, and pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- In a large bowl, add the pasta, corn, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and vinaigrette, and mix until well-combined.
- Enjoy!

TASTY CORN SALAD
Many years ago, someone in the family collected recipes from descendants of my great grandparents, William M. and Florence E. (Snodgrass) Whaley and had them compiled into a cookbook. I am posting those recipes here so that they will not be lost. This recipe was submitted by Donna Whaley.

Steps:
- 1. Drain corn, retaining 2 tablespoons of the juice.
- 2. Combine the corn liquid with the cream cheese in a saucepan. Heat and blend until smooth.
- 3. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, sweet corn. The fresher the corn, the better the salad will be. If you can, use corn that was picked within a day or two of making the salad.
- Cook the corn properly. Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy, so be careful not to overcook it. The best way to cook corn for this salad is to boil it for 5-7 minutes, or until the kernels are tender but still slightly firm.
- Use a variety of toppings. This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables, so feel free to add whatever you have on hand. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, and avocado.
- Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of dressing goes a long way, so be careful not to overdress the salad. The dressing should be just enough to coat the ingredients without making them soggy.
- Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will blend together and the less crisp the vegetables will be.
Conclusion:
Corn salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and healthy salad that everyone will enjoy.
