Deep South Eats: Tomato Corn Salad

 This is an excellent summer salad. It is so refreshing and light. While I enjoyed as well as some others that I sent with samples. My husband was not a fan, but whatevs. I really loved how easy and simple it came together making it suitable even for week days.


Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup minced fresh basil
• 3 Tablespoons of olive oil
• Juice of one lime - approximately 2 Tablespoons
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
• 2 cups of frozen corn, thawed
• 1-2 large tomatoes, seeded and chopped (must confess I have a really weird hang up about the seedy parts of tomatoes)
• 1 cup cucumber, seeded and chopped

Directions:

• Combine the basil, olive oil, lime, sugar, salt and pepper in a jar with a tight fitting lid and shake well.
• In a large bowl, combine corn, tomato, and cucumber.
• Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat.
• Refrigerate until serving.
