Tomato Salad

Ingredients

3-4 medium heirloom tomatoes, sliced
3 ears corn, boiled or steamed
¼ cup basil, torn

For the Vinaigrette:
1 bunch scallions greens
1 tbsp lemon juice
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Grill the scallion greens and corn until charred in some spots.
Cut the kernels from the corn, season with salt and pepper and set aside.
Finely chop the scallion greens and set in a small bowl to make the vinaigrette.
Combine the scallion greens, champagne vinegar, and lemon juice. Whisk in the olive oil until emulsified.
Season the sliced tomatoes with salt and pepper.
To put together, in a glass jar alternate layering the tomatoes, corn, basil, and scallion vinaigrette, then throw in your lunchbox or in the fridge for when you’re ready to eat!

Pack your salad upside down in a mason jar for a healthy lunch that won't get soggy while sitting in the fridge all morning. Or pack it up the night before for an easy grab-and-go lunch in the morning.
