Summer Basil, Tomato and Corn Salad
Tomato Season is upon us; it's also corn season. This salad is light easy and pairs great with anything grilled.
Serves 4-6
Ingredients:
6 cups baby tomatoes (I like varied colors)
4 ears of fresh corn. (Blanched and cooled)
1 small red onion, sliced thinly
1 cup basil, chiffonade
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
To make the salad: slice the tomatoes in half, slice the onion, cut the corn off the husks, and combine them with the tomatoes and onion in a bowl. Add olive oil and salt. Chiffonade the basil; toss to combine.
I like to make this ahead and leave it on the counter to let the flavors marinate. Serve room temperature
