Corn is seldom used in salads, and its sweetness makes it a perfect partner to tomatoes.
This also makes a wonderful sauce for grilled chicken or fish, though it is easier to make in a slightly “chunkier” salad, as it is here.
Serves 4
- 4 ears of corn, shucked
- 3 large vine ripe tomatoes, diced large
- 2 shallots, sliced
- About ½ head of a soft-leafed lettuce, like Boston or Bibb
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- ¼ cup water
- 4 tablespoons sugar Read the rest of this entry »

Fennel, shaved thinly, adds a licorice flavor, and the entire salad is dressed with lemon, olive oil, and chopped oregano.
