25636 Fresh Corn and Tomato Salad 10 mins 10 mins 6 servings Thu May 28 11:54:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 10:56:55 -0700 2009 Easy American CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/25636 Thu, 27 Aug 2009 17:56:55 GMT Tossed with basil and lemon juice The sweetness of fresh corn and tomatoes gets tamed by lemon juice and thinly sliced basil. This simple salad of fresh tomatoes and sweet corn will breathe new life into your summer picnic or backyard barbecue. Pair it with grilled burgers or steaks for a simple weeknight meal.

Game plan: The salad can be made up to 8 hours ahead, though you may want to mix the basil in at the last minute so it doesn’t wilt or discolor.

To remove corn kernels from the cob, hold the ear upright, placing the flat end on a cutting board; with a sharp knife, cut along the length of the cob, turning the cob as you go.

  • Prepare an ice water bath by filling a large bowl halfway with ice and water; set aside. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat. Add corn kernels and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and place in the ice water bath until cool, about 4 minutes.
  • Combine lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large nonreactive bowl. While continuously whisking, add oil in a steady stream until completely incorporated. Add remaining ingredients and cooled corn and toss until well coated. Serve.
