Salad Series


Ever since I was diagnosed with celiac disease back in high school, I am always looking for another great and quick salad. This one is so light and yummy :) Reminds me of summer but you can actually make it year round. Tip: add 1/2 an avocado for an extra boost! 


Fresh Corn and Tomato Salad
(allrecipes.com)

What you need:
6 ears corn
3 large fresh tomatoes
1/2 large onion or about 1 cup chopped ( I used a sweet onion)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
two to three sprigs fresh oregano (optional)
2 tablespoons white vinegar ( I used white balsamic)
1/4 cup olive oil
coarse sea salt
fresh ground pepper

Boil corn in large pot of water for about 7 minutes. Drain and plunge corn into cool water. Cut corn off cob and set aside to cool completely.
Chunk tomatoes and onion. Coarsely chop basil and strip the oregano off stems. Place cooled corn, chopped vegetable and herbs into large bowl. Toss with vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste. Serve chilled or room temperature

Enjoy!
