Oh Summer, where for art thou? I have been waiting all month for a few nice, sunny days, and low and behold my prayers were answered! What to do on this gorgeous day? Why not take all your market finds and make a super scrumptious summery succotash salad (how's that for alliteration?).
Corn on the cob, cucumbers, yellow teardrop tomatoes, radishes, pois mange tout, eggs, basil and a miso vinaigrette. Sound delicious? Well, it is. Better yet, this salad is pretty too. Perfect for a dinner party or pot luck. Have I inspired you?
