0:00
- My baby, Corrie, came home for a visit,
0:06
and she went to Davis Produce
0:09
'cause she wanted all those good fresh vegetables.
0:12
And she had me cook so much fresh corn on the cob
0:17
that I had a bucket full leftover.
0:19
And I said, "I'm not throwing this corn away,
0:24
I'm gonna make a corn salad."
0:26
And I try not to cook any kind of corn
0:29
except white silver queen corn.
0:32
And Sherry at Davis Produce
0:36
told Theresa, "Don't ever cook your corn anyway
0:42
but in the microwave."
0:43
You put them in just like,
0:49
Put them in the microwave
0:55
Just like that, y'all.
0:56
And cook it four minutes per cob.
1:00
So we cooked four, this is not leftover,
1:02
but this is what I recommend
1:04
when you do have leftover corn.
1:08
So I went to the refrigerator to see what all I had,
1:13
and I found a half of a red bell pepper.
1:21
and I had some onion,
1:25
found a little bit of avocado, found some celery.
1:35
This knife is too big to do this with.
1:39
I like the just cuts...
1:41
I can't do that with a butcher knife, y'all.
1:45
I don't know who I'm kidding.
1:48
But I like to take my cucumbers
1:54
and do them just like this.
1:56
Just cut a little strip out,
2:00
leave a little green showing,
2:04
and just go around like that.
2:05
I just like that better than
2:13
having it not peeled or having it peeled all the way.
2:18
To me, this just gives it a little character, you know?
2:22
So if you want your food to have character,
2:26
do it like that. (laughs)
2:30
All right, so I found that,
2:38
and Vidalia is a coming in good now y'all.
2:41
This is a Vidalia onion.
2:45
I got a friend that I never could teach him
2:50
He'd say, "Vidalia, Vidalia."
2:54
Or something like that, Steve Tong.
2:59
We practiced, but he couldn't do it. (laughs)
3:03
I just went out with Steve, he's a place in Missouri.
3:08
He opened up the neatest
3:13
little service station and market, and he had everything.
3:18
All right, so I'm gonna
3:32
Michael just bought me
3:35
this cutting board and I think I like it.
3:39
But if it gets the least bit damp,
3:41
it like slips and slides on you.
3:46
You know, can you see how that's
3:50
doing like that, Theresa?
3:52
- [Theresa] It's doing a little dance.
3:54
- Make a little love and get down tonight. (laughs)
4:04
I am gonna take my cucumber
4:09
and it doesn't have to be pretty,
4:13
but it does have to taste good.
4:20
All right. Probably enough.
4:23
And then I found this little piece of celery.
4:26
The hearts are my favorite part of celery.
4:30
I love using the leaves.
4:33
If you don't have any celery, you can use celery seed.
4:45
Oh yeah, see this is the best part right here.
4:52
- [Theresa] Was this the kitchen sink corn salad?
4:57
Just whatever you got.
5:00
I tell you what really makes it.
5:02
And that's the avocado.
5:05
But I don't have much.
5:12
What is that? It's cucumber.
5:20
Okay, I think that's all I could find.
5:24
Oh, and Theresa ran Davis
5:27
and Sherry sent her back with all these little tomatoes.
5:33
These are baby heirloom tomatoes
5:38
a little square cube of sugar.
5:45
Alright, so now we're gonna move on to our corn
5:50
and let's just see which end fits.
5:54
Okay, that one fits better.
5:56
And we just going cut our
6:02
corn right off the cob.
6:04
So because we're working with sweet corn
6:09
the other night I put
6:10
just a little squeeze of sugar,
6:17
maybe a tablespoon of sugar
6:23
and eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
6:28
All right, I'll do a little red wine.
6:32
And I think I just kinda like the smell of that,
6:41
of that my rice wine.
6:44
Okay, so I like to make my
6:51
with ingredients separate.
6:56
Naturally, gotta have some mayonnaise
6:59
to go with that corn.
7:13
You know, so this is strictly whatever you want.
7:20
Alright, I'm gonna add a little crushed black pepper.
7:33
A little salt, but not much
7:36
because this is gonna be a sweeter salad.
7:41
Now I'm gonna add stuff
7:45
that I found. (laughs)
7:57
- [Theresa] Smells good.
7:58
- Does smell good, doesn't it?
8:02
Okay, which tomatoes?
8:06
These have all been washed,
8:08
so I can just grab and go.
8:13
Like I said, this is real easy dish,
8:15
especially if you are using
8:20
leftover corn on the cob.
8:23
Makes it super simple.
8:29
And I may have to add some more mayonnaise.
8:33
May have to add more vinegar.
8:38
We'll just have to see.
8:41
Okay, now for the taste test,
8:44
this will tell me everything I need to know.
9:02
I think that I'm gonna need
9:03
to add some apple cider to it
9:06
because it has more of a punch
9:10
than those other two vinegars.
9:17
And I am going to add some more ground pepper.
9:31
And now I'm gonna find the celery seed,
9:42
Just take me a minute to find it.
9:46
So it didn't take me too long, did it?
9:51
'Cause I didn't add much celery.
9:58
give it a little kick.
10:03
Okay, I want a tomato.
10:44
It is getting there, y'all.
10:47
Just taste it until you like it.
10:56
That tomato was delicious.
11:00
Alright, now I'm gonna try to get...
11:13
We don't charge for that. (laughs)
11:23
I think it's perfect now.
11:26
So we are good to go.
11:32
That vinegar's getting me.
11:36
So I'll put this in a prettier bowl and clean it up.
11:45
happy saving those things in my refrigerator. (laughs)
11:49
