QUICK VIDALIA ONION, MUSHROOM AND PARSLEY SALAD

Steps:

• Halve the onion and slice as thinly and evenly as you can, no thicker than 1/8 inch. (A mandoline works well for this, but you can do it with a sharp knife and some patience.) Add the onions, mushroom slices and parsley to a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice and olive oil. Ladle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

CORN, SWEET ONION, AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the corn, tomatoes, sweet onion, green onion, and cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over mixture, and mix in. Stir in rice vinegar to taste; the amount you use will depend on the sweetness of the corn, and the acidity of the lime. Season with kosher salt.
• Cover, and chill for 45 minutes to an hour. Stir before serving.
