Grill

Perfect timing for summer picnics in whatever form. On the back porch or even on the front porch while playing yard games, on the beach, in a park or poolside picnics are just plain fun! <br /> <br />This time of year usually means simple meals with the freshest ingredients from the veggie stands or backyard gardens. I only planted peppers and tomatoes this year, so some of the great ingredients for this salad came from our local farmers. <br /> <br />Any given hot evening can find many of us taking a little evening cruise on the pontoon boat and cruising or beaching the boat for a few hours, rather impromptu for the most part and pretty much follow a triple “C”rule (CCC), corn, crab, and cocktails, switching to chicken if the crab pot hasn't been set. <br /> <br />This is an easy recipe and I robbed enough fresh corn that I was preparing for another use for a quick addition to dinner tonight, cutting the recipe in half for just a few of us. I've made this recipe since the 80’s no real changes over the years with the exception of the availability of cilantro. Great make ahead addition to summer meals. <br /> <br />I don't even know what the original inspiration was so many years ago other than packing up a picnic basket or cooler, an outdoor concert comes to mind though.
