Summer Vegetable Salad with Fresh Basil and Balsamic Drizzle

This is my new go-to salad for a quick and delicious side dish.  In fact, if your weekend plans include a potluck, grill out or picnic, you must try this salad.

The best part of this crisp and fresh salad is that it takes less than 10 minutes to make.  Really.

A mere 10 minutes until you're able to enjoy this:


Summer Vegetable Salad with Fresh Basil and Balsamic Drizzle

2 cups fresh corn (about 4 ears of corn), uncooked
1 medium zucchini, diced
2-3 roma tomatoes, deseeded and diced
2 tablespoons fresh basil, sliced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze

In a medium bowl, combine the corn, zucchini, tomatoes, basil, salt, pepper and olive oil.  Toss well to combine.

Serve and drizzle with a touch of balsamic.

Serves 4, but can easily be doubled for a larger group.




Life is sweet,
SPC
