Simple Summer Corn and Heirloom Tomato Salad
Author Notes

First made this while on vacation on the Jersey Shore. There is really nothing better than fresh Jersey corn (try it uncooked for a sweet and surprising crunch) and ripe heirloom tomatoes. Toss in fresh cooked crab or shrimp and serve with crusty bread to make it a complete meal! —AnnaFromBoston

  • 4-6 ripe heirloom tomatoes, different colors if available
