Summer is now in full swing and that means that there is corn of plenty! Although many of you are committed to making your tried-and-true dishes this 4th of July, consider trying this great twist on a potato salad from one of our CSA members, Holly from Buttercup and Bourbon.

Spicy Potato, Corn, and Bacon Salad
(serves 6-8)
INGREDIENTS:
• 4 slices thick-cut bacon (or bacon alternative)
• 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice
• 1/4 cup red bell peppers, diced
• 1/4 cup green bell peppers, diced
• 1/4 cup white onion, diced
• 8 ears of corn, shucked, cooked, and kernels removed
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco hot sauce (or try Jala Hot Sauce or All Good's Chili Sauce)
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Discard all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet, and add the potatoes to the skillet. Cook the potatoes for 5 minutes or until almost tender.

Add the diced bell peppers and onions to the skillet and continue to cook over medium heat for an additional 5 minutes. Add the corn kernels to the mixture until heated through, about 3 minutes.

Remove the skillet from heat and add cider vinegar, Tabasco sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Crumble the bacon and stir into the salad to combine. Serve and enjoy!
