Sunny Salad

Its a corny name...but thats okay because its got a lot of corn in it! :)

Okay...I'm not the funniest guy...I know it. But here's what I can do fairly well.
Coming up...one more new recipe from the kitchen of the Musicman! :)

So...the Sunny Salad has
Extra virgin olive oil (or any oil you want to use.)
Garlic paste (if you have fresh garlic...make it into a good paste)
Onion (finely chopped.)
Cherry tomatoes (chopped in half. They are the tiny ones and they taste awesome in a salad)
Corn (boiled kernels)
Green olives (chopped in 3 parts. I love the ones with the pimento chillies in them. They're yummy!)
Iceberg lettuce (chopped in big pieces. Like the kind you have in the McDonald's burgers)
Salt
Pepper
Vinegar
Lemon

Great if you're on a diet by the way.
This is how I did it.

Take a pan and heat some olive oil in it. When the oil is hot put finely chopped onion into it. Let the onion just whiten a bit and add some garlic paste. Mix em well. Add a bit of salt on the onions.
Add the boiled corn next. Let em cook for a bit and add the cherry tomatoes. Squeeze one entire lemon in all of this.
Cook em all for a bit.

Take the chopped lettuce, put it in a nice big bowl. To it add vinegar and a bit of olive oil. Get your hands in and mix em well. The leaves don't need anything else.

Now...transfer the mix from the pan on to the lettuce leaves. Toss them well. Add the chopped olives on top. They taste brilliant just like that...and voila!
You've got yourself a Sunny Salad!
I think I call it that because it looks so bright and sunny.
Again...the name may not be that good...but the salad...well just try it out and you'll see what I'm enjoying right about now!
Oh yeah...eat it nice and fresh while the leaves are still crispy :)
