Proper right here’s a modern harvest corn salad that matches just-picked corn with a handful of cherry tomatoes, a small pink onion, a medium bell pepper, and cilantro—and sweet vinaigrette.
If you happen to haven’t merely picked the corn out of the garden then choose vibrant green, entire husks and seek for silks that are rainy and flowing. Pull once more a corner of the husk and press a kernel with a fingernail—if the ear is ripe and best possible for eating there might be a squirt of white “milk.”
