Fresh Corn Salad

There really is nothing tastier at this time of year, than freshly picked, freshly husked corn. It is so juicy and sweet that it is almost suitable for dessert. Of course we have lots of corn coming in from the garden at the moment. Country Boy planted several rows, and spaced them out by two weeks, so that we get a nice lot of corn every week or two. Our meals at this time of the year always contain corn or tomatoes, or (like this recipe) both.
I whipped this up to take to church a few weeks back, and it was delicious.

A delicious summer salad recipe.
Author: Jo @ Country Life Experiment
Recipe type: Salad
Serves: 10
Ingredients
  • 6-8 corn cobs - husks and silks removed.
  • 8 medium tomatoes (I used a variety of different types)
  • 1 capsicum (I used red, but if all your tomatoes are red, green might look better)
  • 1 spanish (purple) onion
  • 1 bunch of mint.
  • 1 lime
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and Pepper
Method
  1. Bring a saucepan of water to the boil.
  2. Place the corn cobs into the boiling water and boil for 1 - 2 minutes.
  3. Drain the corn and allow to cool.
  4. Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels of corn off the cobs.
  5. Dice the tomato and capsicum (removing the seeds and core of the capsicum first).
  6. Finely dice the spanish onion.
  7. Roughly chop the mint.
  8. Place all chopped ingredients in a bowl.
  9. Squeeze the lime over the top and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  10. Gently toss all the ingredients together and serve.

    Yuuuuummy Jo. The idea of lime paired with corn is delightful. Definitely going on my pinned list for next BBQ offering. x

    Corn on a stick is classic carnival food! Chilli makes it sound even yummier!

    I love a fresh colourful salad and this one looks and sounds delicious. I love corn and I especially love tomatoes, home grown is just the icing on the cake! Very clever and forward thinking of country boy to space out the timing of planting so you can enjoy as much as you can with little waste.
    PS – can't wait to test out operation no interrupting!
    Thanks for linking up with us here at Fabulous Foodie Fridays, have a gorgeous weekend xx

    Yum! A friend made a similar salad here, but added some fruit, and had the corn raw – it was so fresh and sweet, it tasted great raw.

Team work makes the dream work. We were asked rec Team work makes the dream work. 
We were asked recently whether we “make” our kids work on the farm. The answer is “of course not”. Having said that, all three love to help out whenever they can. They all work hard because they want to; because they take pride in working hard and contributing in a meaningful way to our family life; because they love living on our farm and don’t remember life before we moved here. Whether it be planting trees or doing sheep work or feeding animals, they all want to be involved. As a parent, nothing is better than watching them grow in skill and confidence as they work along side you. We’re so glad that we get to spend time with our three, working together.
We’ve had an unexpected addition to the family ☘️🐑. She is a lot easier to look after than the other family members but she does try to escape her yard and head butt people. Poddy lambs are super cute but they tend to think they are a human. Clover the lamb is sure that Meg is her mum. Can’t think why… 🤔🤣

We got through shearing without a hitch (thankfully 🙏) but we’ve had a run of the flu followed by Covid run through the family since then. The kids and I have tested positive (this is my second time getting it 🦠) though so far C has managed to avoid it. There has been a lot of lying on the couch feeling pretty ordinary. Han had to reschedule her driving test for a 4th time due to Covid, which is disappointing for her because she wants her freedom and for us because it would be so much more convenient if she could drive herself places. Just to add in to the mix, our hot water system has chosen now as a good time to die so we’re on cold showers until we’re all out of iso. This is not meant to be a whinging post but sometimes life just sucks a bit and it’s good to be real. Fortunately, the sight of the fire going with a stack of wood next to it cheers us up. Things will improve soon. Onwards we go…

We’ve been busy spending time with friends and family, harvesting the last of the summer produce, as well as a short escape to explore the big smoke. After the craziness of last term it was the break we all needed. It’s back to school for me tomorrow, and the kids are back on Wednesday. Shearing starts soon and so it’s all systems go over the next few weeks.
