Due to a possible health risk from Listeria monocytogenes (mono-cy-toe-gen-eez), Fresh Express is recalling some of its salad products.
Fresh Express and the US FDA have announced a voluntary recall of 2,825 cases of Veggie Lovers Salad with product code of I208 and use-by date of August 10. Fortunately, no illness has been reported yet.
Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative intracellular bacterium that causes Listeriosis -- a relatively rare bacterial infection that occurs primarily in newborn infants, elderly patients, and patients who are immunocompromised.
What's going on with Fresh Express? All they did recently was recall their salad products: last month because of possible E. coil contamination and in May, ready-to-eat salads were recalled due to salmonella contamination. So, please contact the proper authorities in case you have purchased the said recalled salad product.

Here's a recipe adapted from Gibbet Hill Grill: Grilled Corn and Green Pepper Salad
Ingredients:
4 large ears corn, husked
Olive oil (for brushing)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil, or more to taste
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Preparation:
1. Light a charcoal grill or turn a gas grill to high.
2. When the coals turn gray or the gas grill is hot, brush the corn with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the corn for 8 to 10 minutes, turning the ears occasionally to brown some of the kernels. Cool for 10 minutes. Set the corn on a cutting board so it's flat on the board. Use a chef's knife to cut the kernels from the cobs.
3. In a bowl, combine the green and jalapeno pepper, garlic, vinegar, salt, and olive oil. Stir in the corn and basil. Taste for seasoning and add more salt, pepper, and olive oil, if you like.
