Simple Corn Salad

Use some of your garden produce in this yummy salad!

Ingredients:

• 3 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed


• 4-5 Roma tomatoes, diced


• 2 ribs celery, chopped


• 1/3 cup chopped red onion


• 1/3 cup chopped green pepper


• 1/4 cup olive oil


• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar


• 1/4 teaspoon salt


• 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper


• 4 cups bagged lettuce, assorted kinds

Method:

Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; toss gently. Combine oil and next 3 ingredients, stirring with a whisk. Drizzle over corn mixture; stir gently. Add lettuce, toss gently to coat. This is a delicious portable side salad; mound lettuce on top of the dressed salad; then toss just before serving to keep the salad crisp. For salad in a jar, layer corn salad into pint jars, top with lettuce. Invert on plate to serve. (Dressing can be doubled for extra drizzling if desired).
