SANTA FE SUNRISE SALAD

Total Time: 30 min 
Refrigerate: up to 2 days 
Cost per Serving: $1.52

Planning Tip: This handsome salad can be completely 
assembled up to 2 days ahead,
dressing and all. The dressing seals out air so ingredients 
stay fresh and crisp. Use a bowl
large enough for easy tossing.

 8 large eggs, hard-cooked, sliced when cool
 2 pints cherry tomatoes, reserve 8 whole for garnish 
and quarter the rest
 2 cans (11 ounces each) kernel corn, drained
