Corn, Peach, Tomato and Fresh Basil Salad
For some reason, every time I think of the 4th of July I think of corn. We make some sort of corn dish every year with our 4th barbecue and it just makes me so happy. We usually go for the simple grilled corn on the cob, but this year I decided to change things up. I picked up some beautiful fresh peaches and basil from the farmers market this morning so knew I wanted to use those items in my recipe. The corn this time of year is so sweet, it really doesn’t even need cooking. That’s how I came up with this fresh corn salad dish. It tastes great at room temperature or can be chilled. Serve your guests a big bowl of this alongside any main dish and they will not be disappointed! Happy 4th of July everyone!
