What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Clean Plate Club: Zapata Mexican Corn Salad! Picnic season is upon us and salads are the star attractions. They are not only refreshing, colorful, and bursting with flavor, but look appealing in glass jars…making them incredibly portable. Choose single-size portions or larger quantities. How fun is that? Southwest corn offers the extra kick of poblano and red peppers. Pair it with natural sweet corn for amazing seasoning. Top everything off with the crunch of chili cheese corn chips. Toss a bag in the picnic basket since you only crush them and sprinkle them on before serving. Nibbling is allowed.

No chance in Australia of finding Southwest corn with poblanos and red peppers, but I can improvise.

Another great idea! Thank you, Gail! Nibbling is always the best, but in a two persons household its equal to “eating by cooking”. Lol Have a nice rest of the week. xx Michael
