You’re planning a big dinner party and you want to serve a side besides the standard vegetable and potato dishes. Corn casserole might cross your mind, but it’s packed with calories and carbs and doesn’t offer much in the way of nutrition. Instead, serve this warm corn salad with a simple combination of corn, coconut milk, roasted red peppers and fresh herbs. It’s quick and easy, but will wow your guests in a way that the old standards won’t.
