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.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest ingredients: Use ripe tomatoes, sweet corn, and fragrant Thai basil for the best flavor.
  • Char the corn: Grilling the corn over medium-high heat gives it a slightly smoky flavor and caramelizes the natural sugars.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The Thai basil vinaigrette can be made up to 2 hours in advance, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Use a variety of tomatoes: For a more complex flavor, combine different types of tomatoes, such as cherry, heirloom, and Roma.
  • Add some heat: If you like a little spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño to the dressing.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the tomatoes and corn will start to wilt over time.

Conclusion:

This grilled corn and tomato salad with Thai basil vinaigrette is a delicious and refreshing summer dish. It's easy to make, packed with flavor, and perfect for a light lunch, dinner, or potluck. The combination of sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, fragrant Thai basil, and tangy vinaigrette creates a harmonious balance of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
