Tomato Corn Salad

Although this salad was probably intended as a summer dish it just sounded so wonderful that I had to make it.  I'm looking forward to making it again with my fresh tomatoes and basil from my garden this summer.   

Add the first eight ingredients...  I did not have a red onion on hand, so I just used a sweet onion. 

 Corn cut from their cobs and sauteing in olive oil until tender.... 

                                       

       Add the mustard and garlic and saute for one minute... then add it to the the    

        first mixture and stir it all together.    

Garnish with some basil or cilantro and it's ready to eat....
