Fresh Corn and Tomato Salad with Mint Herb Oil
Make on Fresco
This rice salad is pretty awesome as a light lunch or the perfect accompaniment on a larger scale to anything you need a solid salad for! Enjoy.
Whenever I meet with Drop, there is of course always discussion of food and what is in season and what recipes we need added to the site. This is one for the tomatoes list, because honestly, who doesn't love a good in season tomato? (You say tom-ah-to, and I say tom-ay-to...you get my drift!) This salad is so pretty and really simple. It is perfect for lunch with some toasted crusty sourdough and a rough red or just use as part of dinner for the good old salads that kick a punch table. YUM.
