This recipe of mine is not even close to my Grandfather's. It's only similarity is the use of fresh Garden Veggies, served in the heat of the Summer. (This is an edited version of one that I've posted in the past. I've made it just this week for friends at a pot luck, some of whom wanted the recipe.)
*1 ear of White Corn, in husk
*1 medium, minced, sweet Onion (or substitute a small batch of green onions with stems julienne cut)
*2 chopped (Red +Yellow) Bell Peppers (reserve some to use as a garnish before serving)
*2 Tbls of Basalmic vinegar (Apple Cider vinegar works well)
*1/4 tsp Cumin
*1/2 Tblsp of fresh tarragon leaves (you won't believe what this adds to the flavor
*6 fresh, cut Tomatoes
****(You can substitute 1 large can, 28 oz, of a petite cut tomato + 1 small can of ROTEL diced tomatoes with chilis)
*1/4 cup minced Garlic
*splash of Hot Sauce , to taste
*1/4 cup chopped Cilantro leaves (save several whole leaves for garnishing)
*3 finely chopped Celery stalks (hand stirred at end of process)
*3 peeled, seeded and chopped Cucumbers (hand stirred at end of process)
*Add 1 cup of cooked, and cooled, or canned garbanzo beans
Directions:

*Salt and pepper to taste.
*Garnish individual servings with several grilled corn kernels, some chopped red bell pepper and a fresh cilantro leaf.
*A firm slice of an avocado is also a great addition.
