Vegetable Salad Recipe – Ensalada de Colores

Ensalada De Colores

This colorful salad delivers a wonderful punch of flavor.  The salad can be made a day ahead and chilled to serve the next day.  We love it at room temperature. It is also great served with a Rack of Lamb.  In summer, there will be fresh corn and garden tomatoes.  In the winter months, I used frozen sweet baby corn kernels and heirloom cherry tomatoes of different colors.
