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.

Add a pinch of sugar to the dressing to help balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
For a creamier dressing, you can add a tablespoon of sour cream or mayonnaise.
