Oh how I can hardly wait for summer! I’ve been longing for it ever since it ended last year. What am I most excited for? Besides the warm weather, camping, hiking, backpacking, picnics, long days of daylight, and gardening? Well the food of course! I’m itching to grill like nobody’s business! While, it’s been warm enough that we could have grilled in the middle of our winter {or sprinter as I liked to call it: spring + winter = sprinter} we just haven’t yet. I’m looking forward to fresh salads, fruity beverages, juicy burgers, and sweet, sweet, CORN! Oh my, I’m nearly drooling. Doesn’t that all sound amazing?
Lets marvel for a moment at how absolutely stunning this Fresh Sweet Corn Salad is. Just beautiful. The bright colored veggies make my heart skip a beat. What I love about the dressing is that it’s made without any refined sugars whatsoever. I’m learning from the hubs the health benefits of apple cider vinegar, and while the taste is still growing on me, it pairs nicely with these delish veggies. So today I’ve not only got this killer awesome recipe for you, I’ve also got a chance for you to win one of TWO $500 Amazon giftcards! What?! I know. Pretty amazing right?
