Caprese Corn Salad – no cooking required in this simple and absolutely wonderful salad! Made with sweet tomatoes, salty olives, fresh corn, and tangy vinegar.
You. Guys.
If you don’t already have your 4th of July menu planned out, this needs to be added to the list! You can easily double (or quadruple) the recipe to feed a crowd.
If you’re not having a get-together, no biggie. Just make this for yourself….
all. summer. long.
There’s so much wonderful flavor going on with sweet tomatoes, salty olives, fresh corn, and tangy vinegar.
Bonus: no cooking required.
I did not want to stop eating this.

I like your use of olives rather than olive oil. This sounds scrumptious and quick to put together. Perfect for summer!
