Vegan Corn On The Cob Salad

This Fresh Corn on the Cob salad is full of flavor and is a very healthy salad option for those who vegan diet or those who want to include more meatless meals into their lifestyle.

Made with just a few simple ingredients of fresh sweet corn on the cob, avocados, cucumbers, orange and red peppers.

Then it’s topped with my homemade “Honey Lime Vinaigrette“ which makes for a very tasty low carb yet filling salad. And you will be in business!

When making a cob salad, you want to be sure to use fresh corn on the cob.

Of course you can use canned corn or frozen but i’m telling you it just is not the same.

So really try to get your hands on the fresh stuff if possible.

The sweet corn and orange pepper give this salad a hint of sweetness! So when you add just a touch of the “Honey Lime Vinaigrette” you will really help to ampt up the sweet flavors even more.

If you’re looking for more of a “Tangy Vinaigrette” simply scroll to the bottom of this recipe for a list of other Vinaigrette dressings that also would go great with this salad.

Your going to want a light Vinaigrette to accompany this salad, so i’m sharing that recipe with you as well.

It is not only perfect for this particular salad it also can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 weeks and used on plenty of other salads.

Also be sure to only pour the vinaigrette overtop once your ready to eat it, otherwise you bare the chance of having mushy avocados.

Chicken Tortellini Verde

This simple one pan recipe is made with chicken tortellini, baby tomatoes, sour cream and green verde sauce. It doesn’t get any simpler than this folks!

If you have tried Green Chili verde in Mexican cooking before and liked it. Then your sure to like this Chicken Tortellini Verde which is made in the same Tomatillo green sauce.

Your probably thinking, Italian pasta and Mexican Green Chili Verde! Could that possibly be good? Well I assure it is because it has the right balance of flavors.

And this recent recipe creations has turned out to be a favorite in our home.

Sure, you won’t typically find this offered in any mexican or italian restaurant. However I encourage you to give it a try if you are a foodie like me! It’s an excellent fusion dish and is absolutely delicious!

Now there is a process to making authentic tomatillo sauce and that starts with roasting tomatillos, along with garlic, jalapenos and onions in the oven.

However that takes a lot of time and would make this recipe not so quick. So instead we are using a pre -made green chili sauce that has all those authentic mexican ingredients in it.

So what are Tomatillos anyway? Well they are little green looking tomatoes, known as the Mexican husk tomato, but they are hard to find here in Canada.

And even so I prefer to buy it pre-made its still natural and fresh. Also don’t forget to add the sour cream as well, this really kicks up the flavor and pulls the dish together.

Creamy Lemon Cucumber and Tomato Salad

This Creamy Lemon Cucumber and Tomato Salad is my favorite way to make a Cucumber salad, it’s super Fresh and Creamy!

Make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge to allow the flavors to develop more.

What kind of Cucumber Salad have you tried?

The German variety that leans more towards a Vinegary taste?

Or the American Varieties that leans more toward a creamy taste?

Personally, I prefer something in between and this salad is exactly that.

Summer is right around the corner, can you feel it in your part of the country yet?

This salad is perfect for those hot summer nights and even goes great when chilled to be taken along with any type of outdoor picnic.

This salad will taste much better if you can get your hands on some garden tomatoes, the sweeter the tomatoes the better this salad will taste.

We sent Bubba out to our local farmers market and he came back with these large sweet and succulent tomatoes and crispy cucumbers that worked so good in the salad.

We then experimented with all few ingredients to come up with this Creamy Lemon Cucumber and Tomato Salad.

If wanting your to feed a larger crowd we recommend doubling this recipe with our easy to use recipe adjuster.

Doesn’t this look so fresh and just say SUMMER has arrived or what!

Note: The colder the salad the better it taste, so try to chill it in the fridge for one hour prior to serving.
