Mexican Corn Salad

It has been pouring heavily and there are few things that can give you bliss like farm fresh corn on the cob. For this months Secret Recipe Club I was assigned Lauren's    Blog Sew You Think You Can Cook  Lauren is an aerospace engineer who left her job to stay at home to be with her son.
Laren has an amazing number and variety of recipes and you would be spoilt for choice if you had to choose one.
Since I was in the corn mood I settled for this one. A simple , quick to assemble one. Just perfectly hot for a rainy day. Do visit Lauren's blog for more.
