SANTA FE CORN SALAD

8/25/2018

0 Comments

 
The Dynamite Chefs created an easy, gluten free, weeknight protein-packed salad that could be served as an appetizer, side dish or stand alone meal. This versatile dish requires some serious chopping precision and skills which the Dynamite Chef's demonstrated so well. This salad was served over a slightly fried plantain, but could be easily served over a bed of greens too. If you are in search of a fantastic gluten-free appetizer, look not further. This one will be a big hit!
