Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If using fresh corn, cook it in boiling water for about 5-7 minutes, then drain and let it cool. If you are using canned or frozen corn, make sure it's drained or thawed and cooled.
- Wash and dice the tomatoes.
- Cube or tear the mozzarella cheese into bite-sized pieces.
- Wash and chop the lettuce.
- Roughly chop the walnuts.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the sweet corn, diced tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and chopped lettuce.
- Sprinkle the roughly chopped walnuts over the salad mixture.
- Add a dash of black pepper to taste. You can add more if you prefer a stronger pepper flavor.
5. Toss and Serve:
- Gently toss all the ingredients together until well mixed and evenly coated.
6. Enjoy:
- Serve the salad immediately as a fresh and tasty side dish or light meal.
Tips:
- For best results, use fresh, in-season tomatoes and sweet corn to maximize flavor and texture.
- Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry pan for added crunch and a more intense nutty flavor.
- Add the black pepper just before serving to preserve its aromatic heat and enhance the salad's overall flavor.
- Feel free to add a splash of balsamic glaze or a drizzle of olive oil for extra depth of flavor.
- Mix the salad gently to avoid bruising the lettuce and squishing the tomatoes, keeping your presentation crisp and fresh.
