Fresh Corn Salad

I got the new Real Simple magazine in the mail today, and could not wait to dive into it! It is by far my favorite magazine. Last month's issue featured a great dress from Ann Taylor Loft, that I bought this past weekend, on sale for 35.99! Such a great purchase. There are a lot of great dresses on sale for all you ladies out there!
So, a great way to end the week is with an amazing meal. Tonight, Fresh Corn Salad.

Fresh Corn Salad
Serves about 6

Ingredients:
8 ears of blanched corn
4 tomatoes, chopped
1 vidalia onion, diced
1/2 cup fresh basil chopped

Dressing:
Juice from 1 Lime
Juice from 1 Lemon
2 Tablespoons of Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Champagne Vinegar
1/4 cup Olive Oil
Salt
Onion Powder
Garlic Powder

Directions:
Blanch the corn. Once cooled, shave the ears of corn and put into a large bowl. Then, chop the tomatoes, onion and basil and place into the bowl with the corn. Set aside. In a medium bowl whisk together the lime, lemon, brown sugar, champagne vinegar, olive oil, salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Once mixed well, pour onto the vegetables and mix everything together well. Chill for at least an hour before serving. Garnish with salt and pepper as desired.


I love this recipe. The fresh vegetables with the sweet dressing is a great combination. This recipe makes for a great side for a summer dinner.
