Southwestern corn salad

Looking for a quick salad packed full of flavor? Here it is! Crunchy lettuce, tender corn kernels, and sweet bell peppers are dressed in a cilantro vinaigrette with the kick of red pepper flakes. Try using a low-fat cheese like part-skim queso fresca to keep the Mexican inspired theme of the dish. If you like it hotter, add a few slices of jalapeno or make is super peppery with arugula in place of the mixed greens. Ready in a quick 10 minutes, this salad is a great for lunch or as the base for a main dish dinner salad when topped with roasted chicken, sliced grilled steak or shrimp. Keep it vegetarian by adding more of your favorite vegetables. Carrots, tomatoes, and mushrooms would go very well here.
