Summer in a Bowl

You could make this salad/dip year round and you could used canned corn.  However, when it is made fresh, when the ingredients are at their peak, in the middle of summer, this salad is incredible!  Adjust the ingredients to your family’s tastes.  I’m a wimp when it comes to heat, so I use a little less jalapeño and try to find sweet peppers.  I’m not ashamed to admit, this has been our entire meal – more than once!
