Market Fresh Corn Bacon & Tomato Salad


One of my goals this summer is to showcase the wonderful fresh ingredients we have available here in North Texas and to share recipe ideas to help you create easy meals at home using those ingredients. Right now, delicious local sweet corn and tomatoes are available not only in the local farmer's markets here in the DFW area, but our grocery stores as well. We are at the beginning of the corn and tomato growing season here in Texas, and you’ll be able to enjoy this salad all summer long! It is definitely one of our family's favorites and we never have any left-overs. Add chopped avocado, grilled chicken and Romaine lettuce to this salad and you've quickly turned it from a simple side dish to a satisfying, filling and healthy light dinner. This recipe is a keeper, hope your family enjoys it as much as mine!
