Summer Corn Salad

Summer Corn Salad

 

As Labor Day approaches, and the summer of 2013 comes to a close, I’m excited that Autumn is just around the corner.   There are some foods that taste like summer to me:  Corn, Tomatoes, Cucumbers.  I grew up eating a summer salad of tomatoes, onion, and cucumber with a splash of white vinegar, salt and pepper.  The recipe for the Summer Corn Salad contains all this and more to make a mouth-watering side for the official, end of the summer, cookout.  Happy Labor Day!

Sometimes a single photo speaks volumes.
