This bright, fresh salad pairs well with grilled meats and also makes a tasty dip for baked tortilla chips. You can even use it as a filling for tacos, burritos, or enchiladas. Hominy is big kernels of corn that are puffy, chewy, and have a unique flavor thanks to how they are processed. The kernels are soaked in a lime or lye solution to soften their tough outer hulls. To cut down on the number of bowls you have to wash, you can mix of up the lime and honey dressing in the serving bowl, and toss in the salad ingredients.
