Refreshing Corn Salad featuring juicy tomatoes and crisp cucumbers during the summer season
A Vibrant and Refreshing Summer Corn Salad
Introducing a colourful and effortless-to-make salad that's perfect for barbecues or weeknight meals - the Summer Corn Salad. This fresh take on the classic corn and tomato salad is adaptable, versatile, and reminiscent of handmade market fruits.
The salad's star ingredients include 4 ears of fresh corn (about 3 cups of kernels), or 2 (15-oz) cans of corn, drained and rinsed. Juicy summer tomatoes, either halved cherry/grape tomatoes or larger tomatoes cut into bite-sized pieces, make up 2 cups of the salad. A single English cucumber, or 2 small Persian cucumbers, is diced and added to the mix.
The salad's bright, simple dressing is made by whisking together garlic, red or white wine vinegar, maple syrup or honey, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. This dressing is poured over the combined corn, cucumber, tomatoes, and a finely diced medium shallot, and gently tossed.
To add a crunchy texture, the salad is finished with fresh breadcrumbs. These can be made from 1-2 slices of day-old sourdough bread or store-bought breadcrumbs can be used instead. The breadcrumbs are toasted in a skillet over medium heat with 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
Pul biber (Aleppo pepper) is used for garnish, adding a subtle spicy kick to the salad. The Summer Corn Salad is vibrant, refreshing, and serves 4. It's a salad that's easy to prepare and sure to be a hit at any gathering.
This salad, with its sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, and shallots, does not have a specifically attributed inventor. It's likely a traditional or modern fusion recipe that has been developed over time. Enjoy this delicious salad and let it become a staple in your summer menu!
