Seeding TomatoesSummer is the perfect time of year to enjoy fresh juicy tomatoes in all types of recipes. It's usually not necessary to remove the seeds from tomatoes before using. But for some recipes, seeding the tomatoes can improve the dish's appearance or eliminate excess moisture. For example, it's not important to seed tomatoes when preparing a tossed salad. But it's nice to remove the seeds when making creamy tomato soup to ensure a smooth texture. And using seeded tomatoes when assembling a casserole can prevent it from becoming watery. To remove the seeds from a tomato, cut it in half horizontally and remove the stem. Holding a tomato half over a bowl or sink, scrape out seeds with a small spoon or squeeze the tomato to force out the seeds. Then slice or dice as directed in the recipe.

I served this as a salsa with multigrain Tostitos Scoops and even the 'anti-healthy' guests I had loved it! The corn is sweet enough that you really don't need extra sugar in the dressing, and there was a little too much red onion in there for my liking; I'll add only 1/2c of that next time and probably use 2 jalepenos instead of 1, thanks for the great recipe!

This salad turned out great! I do not think it needs the additional sugar if you use fresh corn on the cob and fresh tomatoes from the garden.

I like to add a jalapeno. Adds a little bit of kick. We use it as a salsa with chips.
