It’s not summer…yet, but that doesn’t mean it’s not the perfect time to get in the summer salad MOOD!
This is the time where you can start to throw a handful of fruit into your salad with supreme satisfaction that it is the absolute right choice. Tomatoes, especially heirloom tomatoes are out in full force, vibrant and juicy and full of flavor.
Now, I’m not going to lie and pretend that this vegan summer salad recipe didn’t have me casting sideways glances at the recipe creator…because it did. It totally did. I mean, sure corn and blueberries are both sweet and delicious, but would they remain so when put in the same bowl? On the same fork?
Turns out…yep.
I was a skeptic going into this recipe but I couldn’t deny just how tasty it sounded and looked. I mean deep blue berries and bright yellow corn? Sign me up…twice.
Another good thing about this salad? It is super easy to make. All you need is a cutting board, kitchen knife, and a big ol’ mixing bowl to toss it all in. Okay, so maybe you need salad tongs too!
So, let’s see if I turn you onto the world where blueberries and corn are fun, if strange, bedfellows…bowlfellows?
