CHARRED CORN SALAD WITH BASIL VINAIGRETTE



Charred Corn Salad with Basil Vinaigrette image

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 ears fresh corn on the cob, shucked
1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 1/2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
1 clove garlic, grated
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 (10-ounce) container small heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 small red onion, cut into small dice

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan over high heat.
  • Brush or rub each cob with some canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the corn on the hot grill and char each side, 2 to 3 minutes per side. You want the corn to get great char marks! Once the corn has charred, set aside until cool enough to handle. Once the corn has cooled, stand each ear up, stalk end down, in a wide, shallow bowl and, using your knife, slice the corn kernels off the cob.
  • Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette. In a food processor, add the basil and garlic and pulse until the basil starts to break down. Add the vinegar. Continue pulsing while adding the oil in a steady stream and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn, tomatoes and red onion. Drizzle the basil vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

CORN SALAD WITH TOMATOES, BASIL AND CILANTRO



Corn Salad With Tomatoes, Basil and Cilantro image

High summer produce comes together in this simple mix, tangy with lime juice and full of fresh herbs. Even in the height of the season, corn gets a touch sweeter when heated, and the easiest way to do it is in the microwave. It takes just a few minutes to zap the corn cobs in their husks, which makes them easy to shuck. The silks will slip right off the sweeter and still-crisp corn. Picking basil and cilantro leaves by hand then tearing them right over the salad keeps their delicate fragrance intact. Serve this with anything off the grill or alongside tacos or sandwiches.

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, quick, snack, weeknight, salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ears of corn
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 lime
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
1/4 teaspoon minced seeded fresh habanero or other very hot chile (optional)
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Microwave the corn in their husks on high for 3 minutes. Shuck the corn - the silks will come off easily. (If you want to boil or steam the corn on the stovetop, you can shuck the corn first then cook just until brighter in color, 2 to 3 minutes.) Cut the kernels off the cobs, transfer them to a large bowl and add the tomatoes.
  • Finely grate the zest of the lime directly over the corn mixture, then squeeze the juice from the lime all over. Add the oil, a generous pinch of salt and the chile, if using. Mix well, then tear the herbs over the salad and gently fold them in. Season to taste with salt and serve, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 day.

CHARRED CORN SALAD WITH BASIL AND TOMATOES



Charred Corn Salad With Basil and Tomatoes image

This is best made with corn charred on the grill.....but if you don't have one or the weather isn't cooperating, you can use a cast-iron skillet. Simply cut the kernels from the cob and char with 1 tbsp olive oil in the skillet on the stove top. From Bon Appetit.

Categories     Corn

Time 27m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ears corn, husked
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 cup fresh basil leaf, large leaves torn, loosely packed
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (add more if you love it!)
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
kosher salt
black pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

  • Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high.
  • Rub the corn with 1 tbsp oil. Grill, turning frequently, until the corn is charred and heated through, 10-12 minutes. Remove from the grill; when cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cob and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Place the sliced onion in a strainer and rinse with cold water to mellow its flavor. Drain well.

Tips:

  • Prepare the corn ahead of time: You can char the corn up to 3 days in advance. Just let it cool completely and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, bring it to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your salad the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the salad.
  • Chop the basil finely: This will help it distribute evenly throughout the salad. You can also use dried basil, but be sure to use less, as it is more concentrated.
  • Use a light, flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette or lemon-herb dressing is a good choice. Avoid using a heavy dressing, as it will overpower the other flavors in the salad.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

This charred corn salad with basil and tomatoes is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. The combination of charred corn, ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, and a light dressing is sure to please everyone at your table.
