Corn Maquechoux Salad With Crawfish image

I was going to cook up some traditional Cajun maquechoux one night, but instead decided to use its typical ingredients as the basis for a salad. It's a refreshing change from the usual corn preparations, and shrimp could be used in place of the crawfish but I don't believe it has quite the same flavor. Prep time includes allowing dressing to sit for awhile.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (29 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
8 ounces cooked crawfish tail meat
1 stalk celery, chopped
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
2 green onions, sliced
1/2 cup olive oil
6 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon coarse-grind black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine corn, crawfish tail meat, celery, tomatoes, bell pepper and onions.
  • In a smaller bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sugar, cider vinegar, salt, peppers and garlic powder.
  • Let sit at least 30 minutes so sugar dissolves completely.
  • Gently mix dressing into salad and combine thoroughly.
