Meredith and I made BLT Corn Salad from the Joy The Baker recipe (also below). We didn't exactly follow the recipe but used it as a guide. We made more (4 stalks of corn, more avocado, more bacon). We actually went nearly 4x on the bacon BUT, we used Center-Cut bacon which is much lower calorie and fat (75x4=300 calories for all of the bacon). We did the corn in the broiler instead of on the stove. We also baked the bacon (without a drip tray but then we drained it and let it dry).

Other changes include a can of black beans, garlic scapes (stems of the garlic), and a single (very) hot pepper from Meredith's garden. We also used mini-lettuces to make lettuce cups instead of lettuce wraps.

Overall, we very much liked the meal. It was easy though not really fast given that we had to roast the corn and bake the bacon. It also made a lot of food giving us two nice-sized lunch portions as well.
