Need a Memorial Day recipe? Fresh corn salads make for the perfect summer dish for pot-lucks, picnics, or easy light dinners. I've posted a few other variations before, but here's another one that might just be my new favorite!
I love dill. It's just such a flavorful, fresh herb, and makes for an easy way to add great taste to salads.
Ingredients:
- 4 ears corn, shucked
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1.5 Tbsp chopped dill
- 1.5 Tbsp chopped cilantro
- 1 Tbsp sunflower seed oil
- Sea salt & pepper to taste
- Place the corn in a large pan with a few inches of water and steam about 3 minutes on each side. Allow to cool.
- Slice the corn from the cob, cutting in large slices. Place in a large bowl and add the oil; gently toss to mix. Add the tomatoes, herbs, and salt and pepper, and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
Serving suggestions:
- As is, as a side dish.
- With tortilla chips as a "dip."
- On top of a bed of greens.
- Mix with avocado, hummus, and spinach- makes for a yummy meal!
I love dill too, but I don't buy it much because I can never use up the whole bunch. If I had my own garden, I would love to grow it!
ReplyDeleteI know, I never seem to use it all either! Although this time I think I've been putting dill in just about everything I ate this week ;-) I also made some dill bread last night that helped finish off the bunch- that's one good way to use it up!
