My Favorite Warm Weather Salad

 When fresh corn is at it's peak, there's nothing better than a fresh corn salad.  It goes with anything you choose to barbeque, or tacos, or whatever you cook indoors.  I use fresh corn cut from the cob, but you can also grill the corn first, then cut it off the cob.  Either way, it's a winner, and you can assemble in in minutes, and make it the day before.

                                                  Fresh Corn Salad (serves 4)

2 ears fresh corn, cut off the cob

1/2 English cucumber, diced

1/4 red onion, diced

Fresh parsley, chopped (use a lot or a little)

3 T. red wine vinegar

2 T. olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

Put all vegetables in a bowl.  Add the oil and vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.  If you like your salad very tangy, as I do, use a little more vinegar and a little less oil.  Put in an air tight container.  It is best the next day, when the flavors have a chance to blend.  You can alter this recipe by adding any of the following ingredients:  green or black olives, halved, cherry tomatoes, halved, and crumbled feta cheese.  Enjoy.
