What tastes better in summer than a home grown tomato? If you are lucky enough to have a garden or friends that share – H G tomatoes are the bomb!
If not, this fresh, delightful salad combines the two stars of this season that you can easily find at the grocery store – tomatoes and sweet corn. I prefer to always purchase organic tomatoes as they generally appear on the dirty dozen list (those items best to purchase organically). Plus, I find the flavor is superior.
I love this salad for lunch over a bed of lettuce (I prefer arugula). It will last several days in your fridge – so perfect to accompany a summer meal or as a stand alone lunch. And the colors are vibrant! Enjoy!
