My family loves corn and I thought this side dish would be a great one to try since it is a unique recipe. Not only is it unbelievably delicious, but it is so fun to make and the colors are amazing! My parents were visiting us in AZ and my dad was quite the sous- chef for this dish. We had a great time making this together! The combination of flavors was fresh and fabulous!
