Summer Tomato & Mozzarella Salad

This salad hits all the right notes - it's got crunchy corn, sweet and tart tomato, creamy mozzarella and the freshness of basil. There's no heat involved, so it's a cinch to make. After dressing the salad I covered it and put it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to let all the flavors meld together, but it's ready to go whenever.

And a confession. After making this simple, delicious, healthy salad for dinner, Sky and I were watching some food show and got a crazy craving for mozzarella sticks. So we ran out to a pizza place on Barracks Row and got them. It seemed dishonest not to share that part of the story.
