Pineapple, Corn, and Pomegranate Salad
Ensalada de Piña, Elote, y GranadaThe town of Guanajuato tumbles along a deep gorge in the rugged mountains of central Mexico that once supplied precious minerals. Now this lovely little colonial city in central Mexico is known for its music festivals. The small plaza, Jardin de la Union, shares a pleasant flat area with a few sidewalk cafes, hotels, and shops. From every direction, steep winding streets descend into the plaza.In a charming sidewalk café I had this salad with its unusual combination of ingredients. It was served with a sweet mayonnaise dressing, but I prefer a vinaigrette. For convenience or a different flavor, you can substitute raisins for the pomegranate seeds.
