       Summer is almost coming to an end and I like to incorporate fresh seasonal (and local) produce into my meals every week as often as possible.

      Not only are these ingredients a better bargain, they also taste like they came straight from the garden.

        My three favorite ingredients to use in the summertime are sweet corn, tomatoes and basil. They compliment one another so well!

Raw Sweet Corn and Tomato Salad Serves 4

All you need: Vinaigrette -

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 small shallot, diced

2 tablespoons stone ground honey dijon mustard

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese

       4-5 ears sweet corn, cut from the cob and crumbled

      1 English cucumber, quartered and diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 tablespoons fresh basil, chiffonade

1/4 bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped

      All you do: 1. Place vinaigrette ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Adjust seasonings as needed and set aside.

2. Prepare remaining vegetables and herbs an place in a large mixing bowl.

3. Pour vinaigrette over the top. Toss to combine.

4. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
