Hot and Sweet Summer Corn Salad

This side salad is a delicious treat for summer meals.

  • microwave
  • 6 ears corn (husked)
  • 1 each jalapeno (pepper)
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro (leaves)
  • 1 tsp red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp olive oil (extra virgin)

  1. Husk the ears of corn. Remove any excess silk. Microwave the ears of corn for about 6 minutes, in 2 minute intervals, turning and checking at each interval.

  2. Cut the corn off the ears into a big mixing bowl. It helps to hold the ears with a clean kitchen towel so you don't burn yourself.

  3. Add the remainder of the ingredients. Stir well.

  4. Served warm or chill for later use.

  5. Garnish with lettuce leaves and whole pieces of cilantro.
