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 have 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 top of the summer time however drier, bigger kernels, and a bit more durable. After tasting it, I made a decision it wasn’t price shopping for this late within the season. The tomatoes have been nonetheless scrumptious.
We usually minimize the uncooked raw corn off the cob and into our salads, so that’s simply what I did. I minimize the corn off the cob, diced up the tomatoes, added some recent child spinach, Kalamata olives, recent basil, and a few sliced purple onion.

My husband was very pleased with the salad ( he thought the corn was wonderful) and he dressed his salad ( I made one for him and one for me) with lemon juice and a few olive oil.
I, alternatively, was upset with the feel of the corn and concluded that it will make an exquisite Mid Summer season’s Night time Dream salad however not an exquisite early fall salad.
The flavors have been good- however the corn was only a tad dry and a tad robust.
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 equivalent to lettuce, tomato, cucumber, grated carrots, and many others.

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