Corn and Heirloom Tomato Salad

 

Corn salad, again?

Yes!  I’ve decided to join

People of the corn

 

Okay, is it obvious I’m on a corn kick?  Maybe it’s from watching Children of the Corn one too many times as a child, but there really is nothing like fresh corn.   Since the summer season is winding down, I made sure to buy what’s probably the last of the corn and heirloom tomatoes at the farmers’ market for quite a while.  I made a simple salad by adding scallions, cilantro, Cotija cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, and a little salt.  Yum.
