Memorial Day Prep!!

Hi everyone, it's Shannon from Wine Taste Girl for my last day of guest blogging for Shelli while she's out getting some must needed R&R.  I don't know about you all, but I'm super excited to have a three day weekend and I have a ton of things planned.  First off, my sister is getting married on Sunday!  Yeah! We are also having a huge family cookout since we'll all be together for the wedding, and I think there is nothing more fun than getting together with family and friends in the summer at a picnic or barbecue.   So for today's post, I wanted to share with you all my idea of the perfect ensemble for any outdoor activity you may be participating in this weekend.

And this is what I want my cookout to look like!  Have you ever seen a more organized table?

 Grilled Corn Salad

Ingredients

• 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husks removed
•       1/4        cup Crisco vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
•       1/4        teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 small red pepper, finely chopped (about 1/3 cups)
• 3 green onions, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves or parsley

Instructions

1. Rub the corn with 2 tablespoons oil.  Beat the remaining oil, lime juice, maple syrup and black pepper in a small bowl with a fork or whisk.
2. Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the  grill to medium. Grill the corn for 5 minutes or until lightly browned on all sides. Remove the corn from the grill. Cut the corn kernels from the cob with a sharp knife.
3. Stir the corn, red pepper, green onions and cilantro in a medium bowl.  Add the dressing and toss to coat.

So what will you be doing this weekend?

Thanks so much for letting me be a part of this amazing blog, Shelli!  It was fun!
