Fresh Sweet Corn Salad
This salad screams summer with fresh sweet corn, cucumbers, and tomatoes from your garden or the farmers market. It won't last long in your fridge once you taste it but it will keep for several days (especially if you avoid salting the vegetables when you add your dressing). Use as a stand alone salad or pair with fish or chicken, great as a salsa for fish tacos. This fresh, healthy salad will help with these hot, hot days! Enjoy!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Get all your ingredients together, and use the counts and measurements in my ingredients list above loosely. If you have more corn or less cucumbers its still a salad :)
- 2
If you are using fresh corn go ahead and blanch it for 5 minutes in boiling salted water, remove from pot to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process. After the corn has cooled cut the kernels from the cob using the old bunt cake pan method.
- 3
Then you peel, chop, dice all the veggies you are using. Place in a giant bowl and stir. I roughly peel my home grown cucumbers but if you are using store bought with the wax coating you are going to want to remove all the peeling.
- 4
Put together dressing ingredients or use any store bought vinaigrette style dressing you want. If you are going to eat this all week (as I plan to) avoid adding salt until serving as it will pull moisture from the veggies and all the extra juice ruins the fresh taste. Also store in a flat cassarole style dish to prevent all those juices congregating at the bottom and ruining your presentation. I hope you enjoy!

Simple Tomato & Sweet Onion Salad Simple Tomato & Sweet Onion Salad
Here in Southern California, we're back to al fresco dining weather, and we like to enjoy it as much a possible.One of our favorite al fresco meals is a wine, cheese, and salumi lunch, and this simple tomato salad made specifically with red wine vinegar is one of my favorite accompaniments. You could totally use another kind of vinegar if you like, but there's just something about the flavor of red wine vinegar that I love in this salad. :)If you can get them, sweet onions like Vidalias or Mayan Sweets are ideal.

Mayo-Free! Sweet Potato and Kabocha Squash Salad Mayo-Free! Sweet Potato and Kabocha Squash Salad
I modified a dish I was served at a friend's house.The firmness of the kabocha and sweet potato differs, so make sure they are cooked by poking a bamboo skewer through before proceeding to Step 3. If they aren't cooked through, add a bit more milk and let it simmer. It should have a pretty loose texture, which is just fine since it will harden as it cools. That being said, the firmness should be to your liking, so adjust the simmer time accordingly. Recipe by Doremiredo
