If Mexican Street Corn and a Panzanella salad got together and had a baby……this would be it!

This salad is a mash up of two of my absolute favorites.  The corn is lightened up a bit (no mayo), but still has a kick from some jalapeño and deep smokey flavor from roasting it.

Tomatoes add some coolness and a touch of sweetness and homemade croutons add some crunch.

This salad is seriously the PERFECT salad for Summer!!
