CREAMY CORN & TOMATO SALAD

-->
24 ounces fresh corn, cut from the cob (or frozen corn)
1 ½ cups shredded mild or sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup peeled and diced English cucumber
1 cup sliced green onion
1 large or 2 medium tomatoes, diced
¾ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
1 ½ tablespoons cider or white vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt, to taste (for table salt, use less)

Cook corn, drain and cool. Blot cooked corn with paper towel to remove excess moisture. In a large bowl, combine corn, cheddar cheese, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, and toss to blend. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar and sugar with a wire whisk until well blended. Pour mayonnaise mixture over vegetables and stir until evenly coated. Taste and add salt, if needed. Cover and refrigerate until serving – a few hours, or overnight.
