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!)
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…
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.
You could totally customize this salad to fit your tastes and whatever is in your veggie drawer

Recipe from Beantown Baker
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Looks yummy AND pretty healthy! I love roasted red peppers!
Who can resist a good dip?! I was just given some hot sauce straight from Mexico and this seems like the perfect test drive for it. Great pics too!
Yummo…looks amazing!
Finally, a lactose tolerating recipe I want to make!! Such a teaser reading my google reader. I just made Dori’s eggplant dip and added WAY to much garlic, even as a garlic fanatic, it can be too much at a certain point. Bookmarking this, thanks.
Hello Jen! The pretty cupcake iron-on sticker arrived! and thank you, thank you very much! My daughter loved it! Still have to get a nice shirt to go with it. I will post about it and let you know! 🙂 Thanks!
This looks so delicious and a cinch to make!
What a fun dip I have my jar of pepper and garlic ready. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed this! Looks great!
