ORZO SALAD WITH TOMATOES, CHEVRE, CORN AND HERBS

This recipe was swiped from a chef demonstrating her skills at a recent Farmer's Market "Tomato Day." Best of all, there's almost no cooking involved.

1 clove garlic, minced
4 ripe tomatoes, diced
2 cups fresh raw corn
4 oz. goat cheese, crumbled

Juice and zest of one lime
2 tablespoons each chopped fresh basil and parsley (or cilantro)
2 teaspoons fresh chopped thyme
1 teaspoon fresh chopped oregano
Salt and pepper to taste

Toss all ingredients together and season to taste. This salad is best at room temperature.
