Serve this super fresh salad at room temp for a fuller flavor. Best when made with native or high quality cherry tomatoes such as Mighty Vine Robinio. It’s also fun to mix it up by adding heirloom cherry tomatoes if you can find them. I am obsessed with the Barrel Aged Balsamic Vinegar & Arbequina Olive Oil from Fig & Olive. Top it all off with micro cilantro greens from Heritage Farms. Delish!
Salad:
2 - (11-12oz) packages of cherry tomatoes, washed & halved
6 ears of fresh corn, shucked & cut off of the cob
1 - 1.25 ounce package of micro cilantro greens
3 tablespoons of good quality aged balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons of good quality olive oil
1 teaspoon flaky salt
½ teaspoon fresh black pepper
Mix all ingredients together. Serve at room temp. Enjoy! Variation: Dice up two ripe avocados and add to the salad.
