This is one of those recipes I've made a few times already, but am just finally getting around to posting about it...because when I made it last night I realized I hadn't done that yet. First I made it exactly as written. Then I added black beans for some bulk. Then I took out the black beans because it was a little too much bulk. Once I used iceberg lettuce because that was all I had. And last night I had already taken out salmon to thaw, so I grilled it and threw it on there.
Here is the official picture
And here is my version
I'm actually very surprised there's no onion in the recipe. So I added some chopped red onion from almost the beginning. The recipe calls for butter lettuce, but that's too expensive, so I just use romaine. For the salmon I just season it with McCormick steak seasoning and grill. So simple and so delicious.
The recipe calls for plain corn. But that's boring. So after I cook the bacon, I pour out all the excess oil and then sautee the corn in the pan until it soaks up the flavor. I might add the onion in there next time, just to add a little depth of flavor to that as well.
The dressing is very light, just olive oil, salt & pepper, and lime juice. I added a little honey this time, and as soon as I did I realized this recipe doesn't call for it. But you know, it added a wonderful flavor. It just enhanced everything else in the dish. I really liked it.
Of course I'm going to make this again.
