Cucumber, Corn and Tomato Salad

Today marks the beginning of the last week of school for the kids...While they are beyond thrilled, I have to say that I have mixed emotions...I am excited for them because they will get to play and be carefree, which will be well deserved.  I am also looking forward to getting a break from preparing school lunches and getting up super early, but at the same time, I know this means constants requests and the need for entertainment on a regular basis (i.e. more work for me ;-))  Oh well, such is life!  At least the countdown to our summer getaway has officially started...We are all looking forward to some relaxing time by the ocean.

 

I hope you had a wonderful week-end.  We sure did!  Last week was our street barbecue and I was to bring a salad.  We were expecting close to 100 people, so we needed salads that were not too labour intensive and that could easily be made in bulk.  I decided to contribute a Corn, Cucumber and Tomato Salad.  It is fresh, goes well with a variety of foods and is super simple to make!
