Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ears corn, husked
1 large tomato (3/4 pound)
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Coarse salt
2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (from 1 small garlic clove)
2 heads Boston lettuce, trimmed, leaves separated
1 cup fresh basil leaves

I'm not a huge fan of grilled vegetables, but this salad changed my mind. The grilled corn and tomatoes add a delicious smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the creamy cheese and fresh basil. I will definitely be making this salad again.
