Here is another great recipe that uses my favorite vegetable, corn, along with heirloom tomatoes. This salad is so similar to one I did a short while back, Corn and Tomato Salad. With the addition of pasta, this becomes a heartier dish, and it is also a popular one for kids. I tripled this recipe and made it for a school function. I used gluten free pasta, but any pasta works fine. I also made this salad vegan, but the option of topping it with feta cheese is an easy adjustment. Simply serve the feta on the side and it can be added to individual servings. This is another perfect barbeque, potluck, or camping side dish.
