Cool Southwestern Salad With Corn and Avocado - Stand corn cob, stem removed and pointy end up, in a deep bowl. Cut downward with a sharp paring knife to remove kernels.
Usually, I make this as a side dish to go with veal cutlets or a roast. You could also serve it as a main dish along with a salad and hot garlic bread if you like. —Patricia Collins, Imbler, Oregon
Top the warm pasta with grated ricotta salata, which has a dense texture and salty flavor. Get the recipe for Rigatoni With Sauteed Eggplant and Tomatoes.
