Cucumber Tomato & Fresh Corn Salad

This salad has more punch to it than a typical tomato or cucumber salad. This salad has more texture with the addition of the fresh corn and more flavors are going on with the fresh herbs. This is a cool light salad that’s forking easy to prepare for a hot day! Most people might add a little oil to a recipe like this but I don’t think it’s necessary here. I cut back when I can and forking indulge in other areas, mostly on the weekends.

Ingredients makes about 8 servings

2 cups of fresh roasted corn kernels (must be fresh or you won’t have the texture or right taste)

2 large cucumbers pealed and sliced in slightly thick slices.

6 campari tomatoes sliced as thin as the cucumbers (or any tomato you like but campari tomatoes are like bigger cherry tomatoes and are usually very sweet)

1/2 large sweet onion sliced thin

1 garlic clove minced

1 cup sugar

2 cups red wine vinegar

2 Tablespoons kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

2 sprigs oregano chopped fine (make sure you chop very fine because oregano can be very over-powering)

1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped fine

Cucumber Tomato and Fresh Corn Salad

Just combine chill, adjust seasonings if necessary and serve!

It’s good and that’s The Forking Truth
