Smoky ham and corn salad (recipe in the comments)
Local canteloupe
Hot tea
Custard puffs (Thank you DiCamillo!)
______________________________________________________________
This recipe came in a list of recipes for meals that required no cooking, perfect for hot summer days. Today wasn't really that hot, but it was warm and the salad made use of some of the earliest local corn here in Western New York. We all loved it and LOVED how easy it was to make, but the final menu was a bit thin on substance. I think we'll serve it with bread next time. BUT I know there will be a next time, because it was so good.
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Super easy
Chopping: Tomato, corn, ham, melon
Time: 15 minutes
Make ahead: You could make the dressing and chop everything, but I would toss last minute.
Reaction
J: "Truly an excellent dinner salad."
M: "Exquisite summer salad."

It's been said that the average American family is stuck in a ten dinner rut, meaning they repeat the same ten meals over and over, week after week. I can't believe that's true, so here's a forum to write about "what's for dinner?". I want to cook a wide variety of meals that are tasty, easy to prepare, inexpensive, healthy, and sustainable. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so.
The very special posts
