- To prepare Lime Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
- To prepare Ceviche: To the larger bowl with corn kernels, add potatoes, tomatoes, green beans, asparagus, shallots, bell pepper, garlic and jalapeño. Gently stir in Lime Vinaigrette. Let stand for 1 hour to blend flavors. Just before service, stir in cilantro.
- To plate: Arrange corn husks on each plate; place a 2-inch ring mold in the center; firmly pack mold with ceviche mix; remove mold. Garnish each portion with two of the reserved corn rounds and a cilantro sprig, if desired.
