Nothing says summer season like candy corn on the cob. We eat it a number of occasions every week on this family and even the native grocery retailer chain has a superb choice this time of 12 months from the fields of Pennsylvania. My daughter (now 6) was into holding her personal cob at an early age.
After a current cookout, I took the leftover ears (we grill them with a pat of butter, a sprinkle of Previous Bay and wrapped in foil) lower the kernels off the cob and blended them with a ripe avocado that was sitting in my fridge.
To jazz it up, I used to be going to only throw in some chopped up cilantro I additionally had within the fridge however then I remembered a scrumptious dressing I had pinned a number of months again from Jeanette @ Jeanette’s Wholesome Residing (should you’ve by no means seen her weblog, you could test it out – she’s all about scrumptious & wholesome at all times going hand in hand – similar to Serena & I preach 🙂
Anyway, it was her Mexican Chopped Salad with Lime Cilantro Dressing that had caught my eye so I tweaked that dressing a bit after which blended all the pieces up with a splash of smoked paprika.
It was all I may do to not eat it multi function sitting.
