Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fresh Corn and Tomato Salad.
Step 1
Begin by filling a large pot with water and bringing it to a rolling boil, ensuring there's enough to fully submerge the corn.
Step 2
Once boiling, add the corn and let it cook for approximately five minutes, just until the kernels are tender yet still have a delightful crunch.
Step 3
After cooking, drain the corn and allow it to cool for about five minutes.
Step 4
When the corn has cooled, take a sharp knife and carefully scrape the kernels off the cobs, transferring them into a spacious mixing bowl.
Step 5
Next, introduce diced red bell pepper, red onion, and fresh tomato to the bowl, creating a vibrant medley of colors and flavors.
Step 6
In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and minced garlic to create a zesty dressing.
Step 7
Drizzle this dressing over the corn and vegetable mixture, then toss everything together until well combined, ensuring each ingredient is coated in that delicious dressing.
Step 8
Season the salad with freshly ground black pepper to taste, adding a touch of warmth.
Step 9
For the best flavor experience, cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, allowing the ingredients to harmonize beautifully before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy this refreshing salad as a perfect side dish or a light meal, bursting with summer's best flavors.
