3 cups  Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Cherry Tomato & Corn Salad Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook corn until just tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and let cool.
  2. Meanwhile, finely chop basil leaves.
  3. To cut corn off  the cobs, stand each ear on its fl at end on a cutting board. Cut off   the kernels with a sharp knife. Put in a large bowl. Add tomatoes, basil, cheese, oil, lemon juice and salt. Toss to combine and serve immediately.

Notes

Notes:

  • You can use 10 cups thawed frozen corn kernels in place of the fresh corn. Cook in boiling water until bright yellow, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Cut the tomatoes in half if your kids would prefer them that way.
  • Refrigerate cooked corn kernels for up to 2 days.
