Yummy Summer Salad

This is one of the salads Wil's Aunt made when we went up to PA last month. I made a small version for dinner last night and it was great... I did make a few adaptations to fit into our budget, so it was EASY, inexpensive, and didn't heat up the house.

Corn Salad

1 bag of frozen sweet corn, follow the microwave cooking directions and put in fridge to cool.

Add:
1/2 chopped tomato
1 cucumber (peeled and chopped)
1 chopped green onion
About 6 leaves of chopped FRESH basil
2 tsp white balsamic vinegar
2 tsp olive oil
Chill for a while in fridge to let flavors combine.

***Deb roasted her corn, still on the cob and then cut the kernels into a bowl. That was too much work for me. She also added peppers and red onion, you really can put in anything you have on hand. The fresh basil is HUGE in this recipe - the dry stuff will leave you disappointed. You can also use regular balsamic vinegar. It doesn't change the taste, but I didn't like the color it gave to the salad.
