This is a riff on one of Heidi’s<\/a>. I had already made it once<\/a>, pretty much as written, except I cooked the corn, and Heidi doesn’t.\u00a0 I thought about reducing the seeds, but ended up using the recommended amounts (3\/4 cup each toasted sunflower seeds & pumpkin seeds).<\/p>\n

I bought two dozen ears of corn at the market last week, and it was a bit too much. We ate a few ears grilled on Saturday night when it was fresh (with my version of Joe Chiodo’s Tavern mystery meat sandwiches: hamburger and Italian sausage loose-fried together with onions and peppers, topped with cheese on a roll and grilled potatoes – that made one of the best scramblers I’ve ever tasted for breakfast Sunday morning), but then the rest of the corn sat in the fridge till Wednesday, when I cut it off the cobs, and froze 3 quarts, and made tamale pie<\/a>, and there were still 8 ears left.<\/p>\n

So on Thursday I used those ears to make corn salad. It has lemon juice and olive oil for dressing, and roasted cherry tomatoes<\/a>. Instead of the shallot that the original recipe calls for, I mashed up the whole garlic cloves I’d roasted with the tomatoes to make the dressing. I added some slivers of fresh basil, instead for dried oregano. Instead of sunflower seeds and pepitas, I used some toasted cashews and hazelnuts that had been sitting in the fridge leftover from something, seems like all summer.<\/p>\n

We packed up the salad and watermelon chunks and sandwiches and rode over to see Cycropia<\/a> at the Orton Park Fest<\/a> – nice way to spend a summer night. I thought the best piece was one about the protests last winter – a few times when they were all flying it was really magic. They might be performing it again right now, tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
