Colorful Corn Salad...


2 10 oz. pkgs Frozen Corn (thawed)
2 C. diced Green Pepper
2 C. diced Sweet Red Pepper
2 C. diced Celery
1 C. minced Fresh Parsley
1 C. chopped Green Onion
1/2 C. Shredded Parmesan Cheese
2 t. Ground Cumin
1 1/2 t. Salt
3/4 t. Ground Pepper
1/2 t. Tabasco Sauce
1/8 t. Cayenne Pepper
3 T. Olive Oil
2 minced Cloves of Garlic
6 T. Lime Juice

In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. In a microwave safe bowl, combine spices, oil and garlic. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Cool. Whisk in lime juice. Pour over corn mixture and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until serving.

12-15 Servings.

(I added a small jar of marinated artichoke hearts (drained) and it "bulked" it up nicely. Turning it from a side dish into a light vegetarian, main event... Either way, it is VERY good. From Diane Jolley who got it from Karen Jensen.)
