A delicious, fresh, and healthy salad for summer.
Ingredients:
- 6 ears white or bi-color corn
- 1 c. blueberries
- ½ c. chopped scallions (green and white parts)
- 1/2 c. diced red bell pepper
- 3 tbsp. lime juice
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
- 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp. chopped fresh basil
Directions:
1) Cook the corn your preferred way (oven roasting or even grilling for some nice, charred bits—just don’t add any oil or butter). Allow to cool.
2) When corn is cool, cut from the cob and place in a medium-size bowl. Add the scalions and red bell pepper and toss to combine.
3) In a small bowl, make the vinaigrette by combining the lime juice, honey, salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking continually. Add basil and stir.
4) Pour vinaigrette mixture over corn mixture and toss to coat. Check for seasoning. Add more salt and pepper as needed. Chill or serve at room temperature. Serves 4 to 6.
