Very good salad! I actually used frozen corn kernels and no sugar; used local Wadmalaw tomatoes - superb!

Loved it! Like any True Zaar Addict I print recipes and take them with me on holiday.. this is recipe was made last week during our stay in Portugal. The local tomatoes were some of the best I have ever tasted, oozing flavour and so this was destined to be a winner from the start. The only reason it's not a 5 is that DH said that for him, it needed something a little extra after a little taste, so I added a decent helping of fresh chopped coriander/cilantro and it went down a treat. Please see my rating system: 4 stars for a tasty salad dish that's great both with and without the coriander. Thanks!
