summer corn and pea salad

I had som corn and nothing to do with it, and out came this salad. It's summery feeling with a little kick.

Ingredients:
  • 3 ears sweet corn
  • 1 can blackeyed peas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 small sweet onion, diced
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 c fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 large orange, juice only
  • 2 tsp tobassco
  • salt and fresh black pepper
Instructions
  1. Boil the corn for about 3-4 minutes and cut off the cob. Combine with peas.
  2. Saute onion in 1 tsp olive oil until tender. Add to mixture.
  3. Add cilantro. Squeeze juice of orange into mixture. Add tobassco, salt and pepper.
  4. Stir to combine.
I am serving this as is, but you could probably keep this in the fridge and let the flavors soak in and serve cold.

  1. Interesting thing happens when refrigerated... the tabasco loses its kick. I had to add another dash before serving.
