Summer corn quinoa salad

A simple salad that combines the best of summer's fresh tomato and corn flavors.

The Kitchen Paper
Fresh corn and tomato combine with quinoa for a fresh late-summer salad.

This summer corn quinoa salad is ridiculously easy to throw together 鈥 I actually felt really lame writing the recipe (see below) because literally ... throw it all together, and mix. Then eat in massive quantities like you鈥檒l never see corn or tomatoes ever again.

This summer, like last summer, has included wonderful access to my Mom鈥檚 garden. It is the best! If you follow me on snapchat, you鈥檝e seen how much kale I ingest (it鈥檚 verging on ridiculous, I think) 鈥 and Mom does a great job of keeping me fully stocked! I almost made a terrible kale 鈥渟talk鈥 pun there but resisted for you. I鈥檝e gotta keep my Dad jokes in check, I know. But kale aside, there are so many other amazing garden delights 鈥 I鈥檓 getting antsy to have my own!!

I鈥檓 sure we鈥檒l chat more about my future garden, but at this point: It鈥檚 mostly a dream. Maybe it鈥檒l still happen before next summer? I hope so! My kale-corn-tomato-basil-beet loving tummy hopes so!
