About

With or without bacon, this screams summer with its sweet corn fresh off the cob, tomatoes at their peak of ripeness, and verdant cilantro (you could also use basil or parsley). It is perfect on its own as a light summer salad or eaten alongside any grilled meat or fish. If you are so inclined, add bacon, which makes it even more delicious but is totally optional.
