Corn, Tomato & Cucumber Salad

"Quick and easy, you can also double the dressing ingredients and add two cups or so of cooked fusilli pasta to make a different pasta salad! Clearly, though, the key to this salad is using the freshest, ripest, garden tomatoes. This is really portable and is great to take to a backyard barbecue, picnic, or tailgating."

  1. Delish! I used regular Tabasco and the taste was great, nice and spicy. You could give this salad a twist by using a raspberry vinegrette. Made for holiday tag.
     
  2. This salad is super easy and delicious and perfect served with burgers (we used recipe#170378). Didn't change a thing! Thanks for sharing!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
