3-4 ears corn, cooked and cut off the cob
1-3 bell peppers, preferably yellow or red
juice and grated rind of 1 orange
balsamic vinegar
herbs and/or spices

Directions:

Mix everything together, and let sit for flavors to mix. This time I seasoned it with finely chopped fresh ginger and fresh thyme; other times I''ve used rosemary and thyme (because that''s what I had fresh); there are probably dozens of tasty combinations. I have only the vaguest idea of how much balsamic vinegar I used, since I didn''t measure it; it was at least 1/4 cup but probably more; I just went by taste.

I served it as a salad (it makes lots; I''ve been using this all year as a potluck dish) but it is also good heated and served over rice (that''s what I did with the leftovers).
