The Scoop
Corn salad decided it wanted a little more attitude!
Sweet corn gets tossed with crispy bacon, cheddar, jalapeño, green onions, and a creamy homemade ranch-style dressing, then finished with fresh lime for a bright, tangy kick.
Crunchy, creamy, smoky, and just spicy enough to keep everyone coming back for another scoop.
