- Hey, everybody, it's Bobby here and it's summertime,
0:03
and one of my favorite things about the summer
0:04
is beautiful fresh salads.
0:06
You know, the garden's a wonderful bounty of all sorts
0:08
of things in this time of year, and summer's almost over,
0:11
so before it ends, let's make a nice salad.
0:14
And today I'm gonna make a salad that's got corn,
0:18
purple onion, fresh tomatoes, cilantro if you like
0:22
or parsley if you don't,
0:23
and a nice light dressing to bring it all together.
0:27
So, why don't we start with the dressing,
0:30
which is going to be couple of tablespoons
0:38
which is where every good dressing starts, I think,
0:52
and a little bit of salt and pepper.
0:54
We all have somebody in the family
0:58
who makes great dressings,
1:01
and in our family, well, my mom, of course,
1:04
but my Aunt Peggy, man, growing up,
1:07
my Aunt Peggy would make the most wonderful
1:11
vinegar-based, oil-and-vinegar-based dressings in her house
1:14
and I remember we would go over to her house to eat
1:17
and there would always be
1:19
a really pretty just jar on the counter
1:23
that would have wonderful homemade dressings in them.
1:27
I've always enjoyed kind of making 'em myself too
1:30
thanks to my Aunt Peggy.
1:31
She started that tradition.
1:33
So this is super simple.
1:36
Lime juice, lime zest, salt, pepper, and a little olive oil.
1:41
So we've got a bowl here.
1:43
I'm going to combine my corn.
1:55
I gotta get every niblet out of there.
1:58
Mom might come behind me, whip me across the legs. (laughs)
2:04
Purple onion, these are beautiful colors together, too.
2:09
Another nice thing about salads.
2:13
Tomatoes, look at those colors already.
2:17
And I'm gonna add in a little parsley.
2:22
And mom's got a beautiful garden outside
2:24
and wonderful fresh herbs
2:29
and it's so nice to be able to walk outside
2:30
and just get that beautiful fresh, and you can tell.
2:40
It's still got dew on it.
2:46
Again, the recipe called for cilantro,
2:47
and I've got cilantro here,
2:49
but we're not big cilantro eaters.
2:51
Nobody around here really likes it that much, including me.
2:53
So fresh parsley will make a nice substitute.
2:59
Avocado, I just can't get enough.
3:02
I don't know about you.
3:04
We eat 'em daily at my house,
3:09
and yeah, this one looks really nice.
3:15
Be careful when you do that.
3:18
Avocado hand, I've heard it called, (chuckles)
3:22
that little injury that can come along with it.
3:25
And I always just spoon 'em out.
3:29
I try to make sure that I get every bit of it.
3:33
I don't wanna waste any.
3:39
And avocado will brown quickly,
3:44
but a little lemon juice is a nice preservative
3:51
So I'm just gonna slice it up here into little cubes.
4:11
Be careful to not tear that up
4:14
whenever I fold in this dressing.
4:19
Eat the rainbow, right?
4:20
That's what they say.
4:21
When you eat the rainbow, you know that you're eating right.
4:32
Beautiful, beautiful summer salad, nice and light.
4:40
Wonderful, and if that's not enough dressing
4:43
for your liking, just make a little more.
4:48
And as always, we're gonna fold that together
4:52
and try not to mash everything up.
4:54
I want it to be married together,
4:57
but I want it to all be intact and whole.
5:00
I'm not trying to make guacamole.
5:04
But what a nice salad.
5:07
This is almost like a nice salsa, you know?
5:13
And the cilantro would be a nice addition to this.
5:17
So if you're into cilantro,
5:20
that'll go really, really nicely with this salad.
5:31
So before summer's over, make this
5:34
for your friends and family. I think that you'll like it.
5:36
Super fresh, beautiful flavors,
5:38
and the colors just are divine.
