This heat wave has just gotten outta control! Got no time nor inclination to cook anything… and for those who want to join me in that boycott, here’s a light and fresh salad for you to enjoy… nice and cold, on a sweltering hot day! Pick up some fresh sweet summer corn from your local farmers market and the best crab you can get your hands on… and fix yourself this salad. I’m pretty sure you’ll be glad you did.
Tasty Tip… If you shop at Savory Spice Shop, I recommend adding some of my favorite Cali Citrus Rub to this salad (you can order online too).
TIP: Does your corn fly here, there and everywhere when cutting off the cob? Just sit the cob like this on your bundt pan, slice, and it will fall right into the pan for easy gathering.
