GARDENER'S SWEET CORN AND CHERRY TOMATO SALAD



Gardener's Sweet Corn and Cherry Tomato Salad image

This salad is a celebration of the summer garden- fresh ripe corn, sweet juicy cherry tomatoes still warm from the summer sun, and basil picked from the herb garden. I like Yellow Pear and Sweet Million tomatoes, but use whatever grows well in your garden. This is a very simple recipe that is all about using the best that the summer garden can offer. Second rate ingredients will not produce the same result. If you're reading this in the winter, save it until you can use fresh, local produce! You'll be glad you did.

Categories     Low Protein

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup fresh basil, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups frozen corn, thawed
2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup chopped seeded peeled cucumber

  • In a large bowl, combine the corn, tomatoes and cucumber. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat.
  • Refrigerate until serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest ingredients: Look for sweet corn that is bright yellow and has plump kernels. Cherry tomatoes should be ripe and flavorful. Fresh basil and parsley add a pop of color and flavor to the salad.
  • Shuck the corn and remove the kernels: To easily remove the kernels from the cob, hold the cob vertically and use a sharp knife to cut down the sides of the cob. You can also use a corn stripper to remove the kernels.
  • Halve the cherry tomatoes: Halving the cherry tomatoes helps to release their juices and makes them easier to eat.
  • Use a light and flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper is a great option. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of honey for a bit of sweetness.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. The corn and tomatoes will start to lose their flavor if they are refrigerated for too long.

Conclusion:

This sweet corn and cherry tomato salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck. Enjoy this tasty salad!
