Rainbow Summer Salad
(recipe source: sweetsimplesavory.com)

Sadly, I've posted a few recipes that haven't gotten much attention but that hasn't slowed me down. LoL

This is a light, fresh and delicious summer salad. It's a great side or main dish.


4 ears fresh corn to be steamed or grilled. (I grilled)
1/2 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 Tbsp fresh jalapeno, remove seeds and finely diced
1/2 medium red onion, diced and soaked in ice water for 20 mins and patted dry
1 medium cucumber, peeled and diced
1 red or orange sweet pepper, diced
1/2 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup arugula leaves
3 Tbsp parsley, chopped
1 Tbsp basil leaves, chopped

Prepare dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper, and jalapeno until sugar is dissolved. Prepare salad. Cut corn from cobs and place in a large bowl. Add onion, cucumber, bell pepper, tomatoes, arugula, parsley, and basil. Toss to combine. Stir dressing and drizzle over vegetables. Stir to combine. Serve immediately.

Have you tried this with raw corn?  I have never cooked corn that I have put in salad.  Just curious.

Chili pepper: You're very welcome! Enjoy!

DiAnne.. I only grilled the corn enough to give it some flavor and grill marks. 5 min.

Funtoshop: you're welcome! Great idea to add some pasta.

The salad looks so good, and very summery. I love grilled corn, and can imagine how good this would be. Thanks for sharing this.
