There are still a few more sweet New England corn ears around town. Take advantage of the end of season with this delicious corn salad recipe. I serve this hot or cold, beside grilled meats, or with tacos. I use the “hot” variety of peppadews but if the heat isn’t for you, feel free to use roasted red peppers or mild peppadews. Not only do they add a subtle vinegary taste but the color makes the dish “pop!”
