Though its formally fall, the temperatures are nonetheless within the mid 80’s, so I am nonetheless making summer time salads for dinner.
I went to an area farm (Shady Brook) they usually had been nonetheless promoting the final of the corn on the cob, summer time tomatoes, and cherry tomatoes.
The corn tasted simply as candy because it did within the peak of the summer time however drier, bigger kernels, and slightly more durable. After tasting it, I made a decision it wasn’t value shopping for this late within the season. The tomatoes had been nonetheless scrumptious.
We usually reduce the uncooked raw corn off the cob and into our salads, so that’s simply what I did. I reduce the corn off the cob, diced up the tomatoes, added some recent child spinach, Kalamata olives, recent basil, and a few sliced crimson onion.

| That is the way it seems in the course of the summer time |
My husband was very proud of the salad ( he thought the corn was fantastic) and he dressed his salad ( I made one for him and one for me) with lemon juice and a few olive oil.
I, however, was disenchanted with the feel of the corn and concluded that it will make a beautiful Mid Summer season’s Night time Dream salad however not a beautiful early fall salad.
The flavors had been good- however the corn was only a tad dry and a tad powerful.
So tuck this recipe away for subsequent summer time when the corn is juicy, candy, and tender. It is going to be excellent.
Tomorrow, I am going to make a extra conventional salad with produce from the grocery store akin to lettuce, tomato, cucumber, grated carrots, and so forth.

2 cups of corn kernels reduce freshly off the cob
2 cups of diced summer time tomatoes (or halved cherry tomatoes)
1/2 cup of crimson onion skinny slices

2 cups of child spinach leaves
1/2 cup of chopped recent basil
Instructions:
Combine all the pieces collectively in a medium mixing bowl.
I really feel the juicy corn is sufficient of a salad dressing for me, however be at liberty so as to add lemon juice and olive oil when you like or any oil-free dressing of alternative.
