Corn Salad with Garden Vegetables
The highlight of this recipe is its simplicity. Amounts can be adjusted while mixing and tasting. Substitutions can be made depending on what’s ready in your garden, what you have in your kitchen, or what is on sale at the farmer’s market. To allow the flavor of the vegetable to shine, be conservative with seasonings.
