I love summer salads that include lots of farm fresh produce!

Despite a brutally hot summer, I just realized that I have not been frequenting the farmers market and taking advantage of all the fresh summer produce the past two weeks. 

I went through my blog posts from last summer. I was really into creating some interesting salads that used lots of  the localfarm fresh produce and my backyard herbs. 


Doesn't this look wonderful?


How about fresh corn? 
I love corn cut right off the cob ; it's so sweet
and tender just the way it is; 
I never cook it, and I add it to lots of salads!
