Stay tuned for an amazing Meatless Monday link up co-hosted by myself and Tina Muir starting in September. We hope you’ll link up with us then.

I’m loving all the great corn and tomatoes this summer so I whipped up this easy salad with some of my favorite ingredients. Hope you like it! I’ve used fresh corn but if you can’t subbing with frozen should work as well. The jicama adds a nice crunch and flavor. Tip: They will cut and dice a jicama for you at Whole Foods for no charge.

The jalapeno cilantro vinegarette is so good and can be used on just about any salad. Vegetarian, Vegan & GF  Enjoy!

  7. This sounds great! I have a similar salad I make with black beans instead of edamame so I’d love to give this one a try with the edamame.
