This looks like an almost perfect food! Great idea, Kalinda!

I can just imagine a big ole pile of this on top of some rice and avocado! What a delicious way of bringing strawberries to the dinner table :)
I thought about adding avocado. If you try it, let me know how it works out.
Wow! Those flavors sound amazing together for salsa! Love how you made charring that corn so simple, Kalinda. :-)

Thanks, that was mostly an exercise in using what we had. I was always jealous of people making Mexican street corn, but we’ve never owned a grill. Eventually, I figured out a gas stove works just fine.
Lovely! Nice way to celebrate the flavors of the season.
