Categories     side-dish

Time 13m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 ears of corn, shucked
1/2 cup small-diced red onion (1 small onion)
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
3 tablespoons good olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup julienned fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn for 3 minutes until the starchiness is just gone. Drain and immerse it in ice water to stop the cooking and to set the color. When the corn is cool, cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob.
  • Toss the kernels in a large bowl with the red onions, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Just before serving, toss in the fresh basil. Taste for seasonings and serve cold or at room temperature.

Categories     Salad

Time 15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (or vegetable oil)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 shallot (or 1/4 small red onion)
3 ears corn
3 medium tomatoes
2 sprigs basil

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a salad bowl mix together the oil, vinegar, and salt.
  • Peel and mince the shallot. Add it to the dressing and stir to combine.
  • Husk the corn and use a sharp knife to cut off the kernels . When cutting corn kernels from the cob, be careful not to cut too deep: If you have a sharp knife and meet any resistance at all, you're cutting too deep and may end up with tough, woody knobs at the end of the kernels.
  • To prepare the tomatoes, use a sharp knife to cut out the stem end and core underneath.
  • Cut the tomatoes in half along the equator, squeeze out and discard the seeds and extra juice, and chop.
  • Toss the corn and tomatoes with dressing.
  • Slice the basil into thin strips (called chiffonade ). Sprinkle the salad with the ribbons of basil and serve. The salad will keep for a few hours topped with the basil or two to three days without the basil (sprinkle the basil on top just before serving).

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.

BARLEY, CORN, AND CHERRY TOMATO SALAD WITH BASIL DRESSING



Barley, Corn, and Cherry Tomato Salad with Basil Dressing image

Categories     Salad     Herb     Tomato     Vegetable     Freeze/Chill     High Fiber     Summer     Chill     Gourmet

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups medium barley
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup white-wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups packed fresh basil leaves, rinsed and spun dry
2/3 cup vegetable oil
3 cups cooked fresh corn kernels (cut from about 6 ears)
2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved or, if large, quartered

Steps:

  • In a kettle bring 10 cups water to a boil, stir in the barley and the salt, and simmer the barley, covered, for 40 minutes, or until it is tender. Drain the barley in a colander, rinse it under cold water, and drain it well. In a blender blend the vinegar, the basil, the oil, and salt to taste until the dressing is emulsified. In a very large bowl toss the barley with the dressing and the corn and stir in the tomatoes gently. Chill the salad, covered, for 1 hour. The salad may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.

Tips:

  • For the freshest flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes and basil.
  • If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn. Just be sure to drain it well before adding it to the salad.
  • To make the apple cider dressing, you can use either store-bought or homemade apple cider vinegar. If you're using store-bought, look for a brand that is unfiltered and has a strong flavor.
  • If you don't have any shallots on hand, you can substitute a small onion.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to the salad, such as crumbled feta cheese, grilled chicken, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

This tomato, basil, and corn salad with apple cider dressing is a delicious and refreshing summer dish. It's perfect for a potluck, picnic, or backyard barbecue. The salad is also a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob.

With its bright flavors and simple ingredients, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy summer side dish, give this recipe a try.
