Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute haloumi cheese or any other firm fresh cheese for queso fresco.

    Great summer side, especially for anything grilled/bbq adjacent

    The salad is great, but the corn nuts were a problem for me. They had a great crunch, but tasted rancid. Maybe a good nut instead next time.

    So good! I used halloumi cheese and aleppo pepper flakes.

    Great! Used as a side dish for taco salad so didn’t add the corn nuts, and used feta. Blistered the corn cobs on the stove in frying pan. Next time might use mix of grilled and boiled corn.

    Corn, lime & red onions are a personal favourite combo and here they work perfectly. I added hot pickled peppadews (but will try the pepperoncini next time), used parsley as the herb and my best option for the cheese was feta. I have salted smoked almonds stashed in the freezer (accidental purchase) which stood in for the corn nuts, providing that great salty, crunchy texture. A lovely summery salad worth repeating often.

    I will also direct you towards her updated version of this recipe from her newsletter. She incorporates pepperoncini (I used banana peppers bc I had those on hand) https://www.alisoneroman.com/recipes/grilled-corn-and-scallion-salad

    Very good, next time the corn nuts aren’t necessary.

    So delicious. I've always enjoyed corn nuts but never thought to put them in a salad. Gave a nice crunch to the refreshing lime flavored corn and onions. I omitted the cilantro since neither hubby nor son enjoys it in any dish. I did my corn per her oven instructions instead of grill. We all thought this one was quite good.

    I don’t think we got the corn charred enough (or at all) but it didn’t matter. This was really delicious and easy to make. Corn nuts totally worked for crunch.
