Are you like me? You live for summer fruits and veggies. I seriously do! I can't wait, for the first corn of the summer. And the berries. Oh, the berries! So I'm always looking for a yummy recipe, for fresh summer foods. Like this one. It's this week's Gooseberry Patch Free Recipe of the Week.
Mexican Corn Salad
8 ears corn, husked
1/4 c. red onion, chopped
1/4 c. green pepper, chopped
1/4 c. red pepper, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
2 t. garlic, chopped
1/4 c. fresh basil, chopped, or 1 t. dried basil
1 t. dried oregano
Optional: 1 t. hot pepper sauce
1/3 c. olive oil
2 T. lime juice
1 T. rice wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
Boil corn 8 minutes in a stockpot of lightly salted water. Rinse to cool with cold water; slice kernels from cobs. Combine kernels and vegetables with remaining ingredients except salt, pepper and jalapeño. Toss well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add jalapeño, if desired, and toss again.
So what do you think? Something you'd try? I'm thinking of grilling some chicken breasts. Maybe making some fresh guacamole. And definitely an Agua de Sandia. Sounds pretty yummy to me! ♫
