Summer salad bowl / Corn and Cherry Tomato Salad

A refreshing bowl of salad is a must for this summer. Sweet corn and cherry tomatoes salad is a perfect choice and a drizzle of mint infused olive oil is like a match made in heaven. It is refreshing, filling and simply delicious.Herb infused oil for salad dressing is a wonderful idea. It is so easy to prepare at home without much efforts. I have used mint infused oil and sharing the recipe. You can always make it in a larger quantity and store this oil for future use. Try this refreshing salad and enjoy your day.
