Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ears of corn, shucked (about 3 cups corn)
- 1 cup diced roma tomatoes (about 3 tomatoes)

Dressing:
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the corn and continue to gently boil for 3 - 5 minutes, until the corn is cooked. The kernels should turn tender and bright yellow. Remove the corn, let it cool and then cut off the kernels.
