#CeleneCuisine Healthy Summer Salad

"I'm sharing my favorite healthy summer lunch today that uses seasonal produce and is simple in prep! This salad is so easy, it's kind of like a summer take on whatever is in the fridge. In the hotter months I crave super hydrating and light foods - with lots of flavor. This recipe definitely hits the spot!"

Celene Gee is back in the kitchen with an all-new #CeleneCuisine! Keep reading for your new go-to summer lunch that's perfect for sharing.

What You'll Need:

  • Organic cherry tomatoes (I like a mix of red and orange for sweetness and beautiful color in the salad)
  • 1 or 2 cans of organic heart of palm
  • 2 - 3 husks of organic corn
  • Fresh garlic
  • Fresh basil
  • Lime
  • Olive oil
  • Black pepper
  • Pomegranate seeds

How To Make:

Step One: boil corn until desired softness (I like a firmer corn with a bit of a bite, not overcooked); rinse and cool.

Step Two: chop tomatoes and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, black pepper, chopped basil and finely chopped garlic; mix this together (this is also an easy simple bruschetta recipe!)

Step Three: rinse and chop heart of palm.

Step Four: slice corn off the cob.

Step Five: add corn and heart of palm into tomato mix, stir gently with big spoon.

Step Six: add extra sliced basil, black pepper, lime juice.

Step Seven: sprinkle with pomegranate seeds.

Voila! enjoy! You can also add in some chopped cucumber, olives, radishes, or any of your favorite fresh veggies.
