  Really enjoyed making this. Impressed others as looks so different to the standard salads. Dressing does not taste so great on its own but as soon as mixed into the salad brings it all to life.

  Looks good. Bit confused as I've never cooked corn before so when it says "cut the kernels of" - I take it you just pick all the corn off or shred it? The pictures look like its just been halved. Excuse my ignorance! I've managed to go through life without having to cook corn before!

  Hi hey_lloyd, To cut cut the kernels of the corn cob stand it up on it's end, get a sharp knife and just cut down the length of the cob cutting off the kernels. Work your way all around the cob and hey presto ur done!

  great summer salad. Using the fresh corns (rather than canned ones) makes a big difference. I'll be making this a lot this summer.

  Loved this salad, agree that the dressing brings it to life. Not a feta fan so substituted mini mozarella balls - yummy!

  Very tasty salad! I made 1.5x the recipe and served at a bbq. It's important to cut the avocado at the last minute otherwise it will start to turn brown while waiting to be served. I will definitely make again, next time with a little less spring onion.

  Really enjoyed this, I made it for lunch salad boxes without the cherry tomatoes (not a fan!) and only used one corn on the cob (full size). Also, my instincts told me that 1tbsp of tabasco would be a bit excessive so just used a tsp, which was just right. Would definitely do again.

  I wished I had read Belkey's comments about the amount of tabasco before I made the dressing. I put the salad together and was just about to pour it on when I thought I should taste it before. It was sooooooo hot, I didn't have the heart to use it and so made up an olive oil/balsamic dressing instead. Everyone still enjoyed.

  An attractive and colorful meal. I used salad instead of corn and added fajita spiced turkey.

  love this salad--black beans are so underused but delish. i have also substitued frank's hot sauce for the tabasco with great success and have also added some fresh coriander at the end.

  I couldn't find black beans so I used kidney beans instead. I added Tabasco to taste as I don't like things too hot. Took it for tea to an open air showing of a live concert and all my friends insisted on tasting it. VERY yummy, and now it's summer I've just had to search it out for my binder and do again. Especially as we'regrowing our own cherry toms this year!

  This is easy and it tastes very good! I have served it at many gatherings and have received many compliments, not only on the taste, but for how good it looks!

  Finally tried this and it is delicious! Was quite apprehensive about the dressing, but comments above gave me faith and I included the full tbsp tabasco. Utterly yummy and so different!

  Have been looking for some tasty main meal salads and decided to give this one a go. Found it really delicious, served with nachos and some fajita spiced chicken for my meat eating husband. Definitely one to make again.

  Really attractive dish. I used sweet chilli sauce to replace the tabasco, so it wasn't too hot. A satisfying meal in itself.
