What is Spicy corn salad?
Spicy corn salad combines sweet corn kernels with chilli and usually a mix of vegetables, herbs or a tangy dressing. There is no single fixed recipe: versions vary with the cook and the ingredients at hand, and the dish works as a quick side or a light lunch.
The crisp, juicy kernels balance the heat, while lime or lemon and fresh herbs can brighten the flavour. Serve it chilled or at room temperature alongside grilled food, spoon it into tacos, or bring it to a picnic.
