Sweet corn, tomatoes and summer naturally go together, whether you’re enjoying a buttery, roasted ear or a salad full of golden kernels. “I tasted a similar salad, about 9 years ago, at a picnic and altered the recipe to my liking,” Carrie Componile relates. “I often make it for parties or other functions. It’s a great summer potluck dish, and it’s perfect for picnics.”
A newlywed, Carrie loves preparing foods for husband Joe…and for friends and family. “My parents and extended family live within a 4-mile radius of us, so we get together frequently for dinner,” she says. “I host most holiday meals and always plan a diversified menu so there’s something for everyone.
“I’m more of a cook than a baker, and like to make meat dishes, appetizers…and salads! When making my Tomato Corn Salad, you can omit any ingredients you don’t like. It’s even good with only the tomatoes, corn, oil and vinegar.”
In addition to cooking, Carrie likes to travel and takes at least two vacations a year to tropical locales. |
