Tad bit too vinegary but very light and refreshing. I made my own herb vinaigrette with balsamic, EVOO, oregano, basil and thyme. I don't think rice vinegar was the best choice, but I didn't hate it :)

Delightfull side dish!! Corn is not happening in this area yet so I used canned kernels, they worked beautifully, also only had everyday red tomatoes; they were lovely served this wasy with the corn. We will be making this again, great summer dish, will look forward to when the fresh corn comes, thanks for posting!

I currently live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, although that will be changing shortly. I was living in Guatemala for the past few months, and plan on returning for a 2 year teaching assignment this coming January. I have always loved to cook, and the more complicated recipe, the better. I also love any type of ethnic food, so most of the recipes you see in my cookbook are of that variety.
