FRESH CORN SUMMER SALAD
Here is a bright bowl of summer offered up by Betty Fussell, the cookbook writer and observer of American life. She tells us to organize the vegetables in rows across a platter, which provides a lovely presentation - but there's nothing wrong with piling them in a bowl willy-nilly, a crisp riot of color and flavor.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the corn kernels and scallions, and transfer to one end of a serving platter. Place the zucchini, tomatoes, bell pepper and green beans in rows across the platter, until the platter is filled.
- In the container of a blender, combine the basil leaves, jalapeno, garlic, olive oil and lime juice. Puree until smooth, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the vegetables, and serve.
