    Fresh Corn Cakes with Summer Salsa

    "This speedy vegetarian entrée is absolutely bursting with peak-season produce. We suggest serving the cakes with an herby white bean and arugula salad."

    Ingredients

    4 ounces white whole-wheat flour (about 3/4 cup)
    1/2 cup plain yellow cornmeal
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
    1 cup light sour cream
    2 large eggs
    2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
    1 1/4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears)
    2 tablespoons minced jalapeño
    1/2 cup diced yellow squash
    1/4 cup chopped green onions
    1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
    1 1/2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
    1 medium tomato, chopped

    How to Make It

    1. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup. Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl.
    2. Combine sour cream, eggs, and 1 tablespoon oil in a bowl, stirring until smooth. Add sour cream mixture, corn, and jalapeño to flour mixture; stir just until combined.
    3. Heat a large nonstick griddle over medium-high heat.
    4. Divide corn mixture into 8 equal portions (about 1/3 cup each); shape into patties. Add patties to griddle; cook 6 minutes on each side.
