Quite yummy and healthy. Took this to a potluck - it was the only dish with nothing left at the end of the party. Appeals to young and old and is a breeze to make. I was surprised that the basil went over so big.

Excellent salad! It was a big hit with my "picky" grandma. She even wants me to make it for our Sunday dinner.

I used fresh corn cut off the cob and microwaved for 3 minutes. It not only tasted great but it was very pretty, with all the color contrasts. I will definately make this again. It was great- very fresh summer tastes.

Yum! I did not alter this at all, and it got rave reviews. I served it as a side to grilled steaks. I think the dressing really makes this recipe!

This was yummy and Oh So EASY which makes it even more yummy. I made it the afternoon before dinner and let it sit in the fridge about 2-3 hours before serving. I thought the mix of lime, basil and sugar was just perfect. I could see throwing some black beans or even maybe brown rice and cooked chicken in here next time to make it more of a one dish meal. Thanks for the great treat!

This is a great recipe to give a taste of "summer" when there really aren's many summer veggies in season. I used frozen white sweet corn, which worked really well. I love that you can make it well ahead of time, and it keeps well until time to serve. Like some of the other reviewers, I too decided that it needed something to give it more pep and perhaps improve the appearance. I added about 1/2 cup of diced red onion after tasting it, then and about 1/4 pound of baby spinach (the bagged kind) just before serving. This got RAVE reviews at my first dinner party in a very long time. I'll definitely make this again.

This salad was alright. A bit more bland than anything I usually eat, I think I'll add more spices and crushed garlic next time. The basil was great, could have used more of it!

I didn't care for the sugar and lime combination in this recipe. It was a tad bit too sweet for me. I did like the combination of other ingredients, however, so next time, I may just use regular olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and some lemon or even the lime, but not the sugar.

This was great! My fiancee loved it, too, and she doesn't ordinarily like different salads or lots of vegetables. I want to share this recipe with my family and friends. I used fresh sweet corn off the cob (but did not saute it). The flavors in the dressing all came together so well. I would not have thought to put basil and lime together, but the dressing was awesome! I am very impressed with whoever figured out those flavors would combine so well, and who got the measurements just right! Thank you for the recipe! I will make this again.

Made this recipe for a family reunion picnic and everyone raved about it. I used fresh corn on the cob, and locally grown cherry tomatoes. The key to this recipe was using fresh ingredients.

I made this exactly as the recipe was written and it was delicious. Used fresh basil from my garden and frozen corn. Went perfectly with a summer menu featuring grilled hamburgers.

This was excellent! I substituted cilantro for the basil and zucchini for the cucumber. No leftovers here!

I altered this a bit by adding black beans and subbing cilantro in for the basil, and it turned out great! I'll probably be making this again soon, since it is a healthy, easy, and fast dish for a busy college student.
