Roasted Corn, Pumpkin & Tomato Salad
It is corn time and whether you are harvesting your own, picking it up from your local farmers market or your local green grocer the flavour is sooo sweet.
Corn is so versatile, great on the barbie with smotherings of butter (if you haven’t already check out my recipe for Salt & Pepper BBQ Corn with Chilli Butter) steamed, thrown into a stirfry, delicious in salsa, tossed through salads or roasted.
I also have a prolific pumpkin patch – corn and pumpkin love hanging out with each other so give this warm salad a try. It is great with your favourite roast. Enjoy!
