Tomato Corn Summer Salad

I know, I know. It’s after Labor Day. So it’s not summertime any more. I know some of you are excited to move in to Fall and start baking with apples and pumpkin (I’m looking at you Rachel!)

Tomato Corn Summer Salad

But I’m digging in my heels. I think I do this every year. I resist saying good bye to summertime even though Fall is my favorite season… So while the corn and tomatoes are still abundant and flavorful, I’m going to keep using them. If you want apple and pumpkin and other fall favorites, you’re just going to have to wait…

Tomato Corn Summer Salad

This summer salad was thrown together one night when I was trying to clean out our veggie drawer in the fridge. We get our CSA box on Wednesday, so Tuesday night’s dinner usually has a lot of veggies in it.

    Welcome to the BBs. I did cucumber towers with mine the first time I made this, then stuffed cherry tomatoes and new potatoes for a work event today.

    Your pics are great. Wish I’d thought of the salt.:-)

    Hi Jen,

    I just discovered your blog :). I’m Sophie from Flour Arrangements. In just about a week I’ll be moving to Boston (actually Cambridge) from Austin, and I’m hoping to start a cooking group when I get there. I actually TRY to cook dairy free too (although sometimes I need a little dairy in there, ya know?); so it’d be cool to have a fellow ‘somewhat non-dairy’ foodie in the group! Drop me a comment on my blog, or even an email, if you’re interested. It’s nice meeting you!

    Oh, and feel free to tell any of your friends about it :).

    These would be fun to make. I’ll bet the hardest part was scooping out the tomatoes. They make for a delicious and colourful appetizer.
