Directions:

Step one: Roast the corn on the grill or in oven at 350 degrees. If oven method, place on a baking sheet, spray with oil, sprinkle with Margarita Fajita spice, and roast 30 - 40 min or until tender. Remove the corn, let it cool, and slice the kernels off of the cob. During the last 10 min of roasting the corn, add the red pepper strips for roasting. Roast red pepper just till skin blisters. Remove pepper from the oven. Once the pepper has cooled slightly, peel o the skin and discard. Dice the pepper.

Step two: Make the dressing in a food processor. Add garlic cloves, cilantro including stems, juice and zest of limes, Fennel and Fire Margarita Fajita seasoning, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, jalapenos, and jalapeno juice. Process until the cilantro is finely chopped. Stream in olive oil and pulse until combined.

Step three: Combine all salad ingredients in a bowl. Pour the dressing on top of the salad and gently mix to combine. Step four: Finish with a sprinkle of Fennel and Fire Fire salt and a squeeze of fresh lime. With Cinco de Mayo around the corner, we are excited to introduce our newest organic spice blend, Margarita Fajita. This blend adds a little twist to our original fajita spice with some organic lime and organic sugar. We love it on chicken, shrimp, vegetables, salsa, and this fiesta salad. Four things make this fiesta salad like no other: roasting the corn and red pepper, using Ralston Farms purple rice, adding the mango and using our new Fennel and Fire Margarita Fajita Spice blend.
