Summertime. Summertime is time for casual eating, dining alfresco, and making salads. This recipe for corn & bell pepper salad oozes summer to me. To me nothing says summer more than a good salad like this summer corn & bell pepper salad with fresh summer corn & bell peppers.
This was a creation because I had some gorgeous summer corn and some equally lovely bell peppers and couldn’t stand the thought of cooking stuffed peppers in the oven on a warm summer day.
You’ll want to be sure to make this is fresh corn – no reason to use frozen this time of year, but should you want to make this year round, you can use ¾ bag frozen white corn in place of the fresh summer corn.
SUMMER CORN & BELL PEPPER SALAD
1 yellow bell, seeded and chopped
1 orange bell, seeded and chopped
2 cups fresh corn off the cob, white or yellow – approximately 4 ears of corn (to make this in the off season use ¾ bag frozen corn thawed)
¼ cup sugar
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1/8-1/4 cup canola oil
2 tbsp dried parsley
Place corn and chopped peppers in a bowl
In a small saucepan heat oil, sugar and vinegar until the sugar dissolves
Let cool slightly and pour over veggies
Top with parsley then mix together
Feel free to pour off extra dressing if you feel it’s too wet
Enjoy!
