Tomato Corn Salad
(originally made 8/2010)
On Mondays, Jake and I pick one of the local farms and go stock up on fruits and veggies for the week. I looked through the fridge and we still had some stuff leftover from last week and I wanted to make sure none went to waste, so we decided to put off our trip til tomorrow.
This recipe was perfect to use up the odds and ends of tomatoes and corn I had, plus was a great side dish to the BBQ3000 grilled chicken I was serving for lunch. I fully admit to not measuring a thing, I just eyeballed and it still came out delicious.
Pic is grainy, but that's what happens when I get actual real sunshine in my house, so please excuse it :)
