It’s impossible to explain how delicious this is. You just have to try it. It is the best of summer and served with grilled chicken, it’s HEAVEN.
When I was a kid we always had a big garden and a large plot of corn. In August we would haul in all the corn and have a big corn scraping party. We had an outdoor fireplace and boiled the corn in big pots on the fire. We always froze the corn which kept it tasting fresh off the cob.
It’s just a matter of mixing all the veggies together and tossing with a simple dressing.
Nothing like a bowl of fresh summer veggies.
The dressing is just olive oil and lemon juice with salt and pepper. The simplicity of it is perfect.
You won’t be able to stop eating it. Enjoy every bite!
