This Grilled Corn and Cherry Tomato Salad pairs particularly well with grilled meats and poultry.
Fresh Corn has just started to arrive in the grocery stores and I couldn’t be more excited. Corn on the cob is one of my favorite summer vegetables! This healthy and colorful side dish can be served as a light main course or a side dish with just about any meal you prefer.

Prep time: 10 minutes

1 lb. cherry or grape tomatoes halved
