Healthy Corn Salad!

As some of you know, I have been on a fitness/weight loss journey.  I have been running and also doing the Focus T25 program.  I have lost 30 pounds in the last year and have been feeling the best every!  I am able to keep up with my kids and my mind is so sharp.
I have also been trying to eat more healthy as well. Shaun T (creator of T25) passed on this recipe on his Facebook page and I tried it once and was hooked!  I make it almost every other week!  You can add other ingredients like sundried tomatoes, bacon, chicken or basil!

Here it is!
