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.
