Honey Tips

Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar

Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.

Directions

In a large non-stick skillet heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add corn and sauté for 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and sauté another 3 minutes or until corn begins to brown. Remove from heat and cool. Place in a large bowl. Toss with remaining salad ingredients.

In a small bowl whisk together all dressing ingredients. Pour desired amount of dressing over salad, toss and let sit at least 15 minutes before serving or refrigerate until ready to serve.
