Recipe Review - Jamie Deen's Charred Corn Salad by Naturally Pebbles

I love Paula Deen!  Her down home southern charm is like a warm blanket.  Controversy or no, to me she is genuine.  Her sons are branching out in the food world.  Bobby is lightening up Paula’s best dishes and Jamie is gathering families around the table for dinner.

I decided to try Jamie Deen’s Charred Corn Salad.  This was risky because my family doesn’t like trying new things.  To suit our tastes, I omitted the green onions and added cilantro and queso cheese.  I cheated and used frozen yellow and white corn since it was already on hand but I did heat it in a dry skillet per the recipe.  To complete my meal, I took help from the store and bought a roasted chicken and steamed broccoli.

The flavor of the finished product was mild.  Fresh corn would have given it another depth of flavor so I'll definitely go that route the next time.  I was missing some heat so will also add a mild green pepper.

The meal was a success and we look forward to enjoying this salad again soon.

Like Paula says "from my kitchen to yours"!
