Summer Gold Salad

The kiddos went to the Farmer’s Market this weekend and brought me home some yummy goodies.  I tossed up a beautiful salad full of golden colored veggies and fruit.   The blend of sweet summer corn, sweet sun gold yellow tomatoes and sweet mango is just perfect!  Keep the dressing super light and let the ingredients shine.
