The freshness of the produce with the flavor of the dressing hit the spot on a sunny summer day.
Produce:
Lettuce - the type we received wasn't specified, but it seemed like romaine to me
Tomatoes
Corn on the cob - I cut it off the cobb when it cooled
Cucumber
Dressing:
2 tbsp virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
1/2 tsp Sugar
1/2 lemon juice (this can be omitted if you don't have it)
5-7 drops of hot sauce - use less if you're worried about it being too spicy
Few dashes of salt and pepper
1/4 tsp or so of garlic powder/granules
I started by boiling the corn to cook it so it would have time to cool. When it cooled, I cut off the kernels.
I added a little salt, hot sauce and lemon juice to the corn to marinate it for a few minutes while I prepared the rest of the produce.
After washing and chopping the produce, here was my assembly line.
I decided I wanted to add everything to a big bowl (I used my salad spinner bowl since I had it out) to toss the ingredients with the dressing. I love salads with dressing evenly spread onto every piece.
I used tongs to put them onto our plates. Not sure that's vital info to this recipe - but it's what I did :)
After Nick's first bite, his words were, "This is incredible." Mission accomplished! :) I think the freshness of the produce plus the delicious dressing was a great combo. I need to make up a bottle of that dressing to use on our salads from now on - it was SO tasty!
