Just starting to see organic sweet corn available at the farmers market and also have just started harvesting some black cherry tomatoes from the garden. This salad is a really simple, and really delicious side dish. I made it to go along with lentil sloppy joes, yum!
On Cooking and Ingredients
Corn, Zucchini, and Tomato Salad
Makes about 4 cups
1 1/2 cups of sweet corn-it took 4 medium sized cobs to get this much corn
1 medium zucchini, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes sliced into quarters
small handful of fresh basil, chopped
1 T finely diced shallot
1 T white wine vinegar
1 t stone ground mustard
1 t agave or other sweetener
1 1/2 T olive oil
salt and pepper
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop in 4 peeled cobs of corn. Remove them from the water after no more than 90 seconds, give them a quick rinse under cold water, cut the corn from the cob and place into a medium sized bowl. Add the zucchini, tomatoes, basil, and shallot.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, agave, olive oil, and a dash of salt and pepper. Pour over the vegetables and give it a stir. Taste it and add more salt and pepper if you would like.
Oh, I'd love to see the lentil sloppy joes!
