Jalapeno Popper Corn Salad is Great for a Crowd
Summer is unofficially here and we couldn't be happier. We love cooking on the grill and having friends over. We had a few people over for Memorial Day earlier this week. It was so much fun!

How to Make Jalapeno Popper Corn Salad
This Jalapeno Popper Corn Salad is super simple to make. Simply chop the jalapenos and combine with the remaining ingredients. It literally took me about 5 minutes to make this yummy side dish.To cut down on the heat in this dish, make sure to discard the seeds and membranes in the jalapenos. I also recommend wearing gloves when chopping the peppers and don't touch your face! It will BURN!
For the corn, you can use fresh corn kernels, thawed frozen corn kernel or canned corn. You can use white or yellow corn or a combination of both. Just use your favorite type of corn.
