No Brainer Corn Salad

No Joke, that is the name of the recipe. On the very last page of the 2020 summer issue of Bon Appetit there were some suggestions for dishes to make. Our neighbor had just given us 8 ears of corn and I wanted to be able to use them. I gave this recipe a try. https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/no-brainer-corn-salad

I had to make some allowances because I didn’t have all the ingredients and didn’t want to go to the store. (During the pandemic, as little as possible trips to the store is what we like around here.) So the changes I made were:

Peanuts instead of Pistachios

Jalapenos instead of Serranos

Basil, instead of Cilantro or mint

One half of a lemon and one half of a lime juiced

Parmesean instead of Cotija

Olive Oil instead of Grapeseed oil

So, I should make up an entirely different name for this dish because I changed so much of it. Hmmm…..how about…..Clean out the Fridge Corn Salad ?
