GARDENER'S SWEET CORN AND CHERRY TOMATO SALAD
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.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the oil and vinegar with salt and pepper to taste to form a dressing.
- Add the remaining ingredients, and toss to coat with the dressing.
- Taste, and reseason if necessary.
Tips:
- Use fresh and ripe ingredients: Fresh corn and tomatoes are essential for this salad. Look for corn that is bright yellow and has plump kernels. Tomatoes should be ripe and juicy.
- Blanch the corn: Blanching the corn will help to preserve its鮮豔的顏色 and flavor. To blanch the corn, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the kernels are bright yellow and tender. Immediately transfer the corn to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Dice the tomatoes: Dice the tomatoes into small, even pieces. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the salad.
- Use a light and flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette dressing is a great option for this salad. Combine olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add some herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, cilantro, or parsley, can add a nice flavor boost to the salad. Finely chop the herbs and stir them into the salad just before serving.

Sweet corn and tomato salad is a refreshing and flavorful summer side dish. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and healthy salad that everyone will enjoy.
