nice, bright (and quick) side dish
Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 2:53 pm
I tossed this together this weekend. I think it will be better as a summer cookout side dish, but it was nice enough, even in the dead of winter.
Tomatillo corn salad/relish
8 or 9 tomatillos, rough chop
2 cups corn (I used frozen corn, thawed, of course)
1 jalapeno, very finely chopped (no seeds/ribs as per Mrs. 87)
Small bit of very finely chopped red onion (maybe a tsp. worth)
Dash of salt & pepper
Juice of 1/2 lime
Heavy splash of olive oil
Mix, let sit for a bit and eat.
I was going to add some fresh garlic and/or herbs (cilantro, oregano), but this has a very bright, subtle taste just as it is.
Like I said, I'm looking forward to this as a side during grilling season!
