First up… Corn and Asparagus Salad!
1. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add salt to boiling water.
2. Place corn into pot and cook for 5 minutes, or until corn turns bright yellow. Remove from water; set aside.
3. In the same pot, add cut asparagus and cook until tender (about 2 minutes). Remove from pot; set aside.
4. Once the corn has cooled, use a sharp knife and remove the kernels. Place kernels and asparagus pieces into a large bowl.
