While we may consider corn a summer staple did you know the harvest of corn in the US takes place between October and November? Here's a healthy and very simple recipe my family enjoys. It's a very fresh, light dish that will take you just 10 minutes to complete.
Ingredients:
*4 ears Fresh Corn on the cob (corn cut off cob)
*3 Large Tomatoes (small dice)
*1 large onion (small dice)
*1 bunch fresh cilantro (rough chopped)
*Salt and pepper to taste
*2 tsp ground cumin
*1 large bell pepper (small dice)
*1/4 cup olive oil
*1/8 cup vinegar (red or white)
-Cut corn off cob and boil for 10 minutes or until Al dente (a little crunch still in the kernel)
-mix all the other ingredients together and set at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Serve with all kinds of foods or use as a salad on a cool day.
Tip: make sure when you are dicing your onions, peppers, and tomatoes that they are about the same size as the corn or just a bit larger. You do not want the corn to get "lost" with the other ingredients. Remember the corn is the main ingredient so highlight the corn.
