TOMATOES STUFFED WITH FRESH CORN and MANGO SALAD
Servings: 6

6 large heirloom tomatoes
4 ears of corn
1/2 mango
1/2 bunch green onions
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/2 jalapeno
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Cut tops off tomatoes. Gently cut around inside edge of each tomato; use a spoon or your hands to scoop out most of the insides (reserve for another use) creating a cup. Sprinkle insides with salt and pepper. Cut off kernels from corn, parboil, and place in a large bowl to cool. Add mango, peeled and diced; green onions, thinly sliced; halved cherry tomatoes; cilantro; jalapeno, finely minced; olive oil and lime juice.

Gently mix to combine; season with salt. Spoon salad into tomato cups. Transfer to a platter. Garnish with fresh chive blossoms or another edible blossom (such as nasturtiums). Serve at room temperature.

Sounds yummy! I might par boil and chill the corn first for a tender crisp texture... Just a thought :)
