Ingredients: 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar; Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper; 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 6 ears fresh corn, shucked; 2 cups red or orange grape tomatoes, halved; 8 ounces mozzarella pearls or fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes; 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced; 1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves

Fresh Corn and Tomato Salad

white wine vinegar

salt and black pepper

olive oil

corn,

red or orange grape tomatoes, halved

mozzarella pearls

scallions,

basil leaves

Whisk together the vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt and some pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth dressing.

Shear off the corn kernels with a sharp knife over a bowl (you should have about 4 cups). Toss in the tomatoes, mozzarella and scallions. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat. Cover and let stand for at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours. Before serving, tear the basil over the salad and stir.

How did I not know you can (and should) eat seasonal corn raw?!? We have been boiling the corn we buy from our local farm and it’s totally unnecessary! This salad is one, if not the best, salad that I’ve ever had. I added grilled shrimp and used feta because it’s what I had. It would be great vegetarian and with no cheese too. You could even 1/2 the dressing and it would still be good. It’s versatile and forgiving. Will be making it again every summer and all summer long.

This is an amazingly fresh tasting summer salad.  It is so delicious and easy.  My mother made it as a tasty side dish that EVERYONE loved.  It tastes just like summer.  I am making it tomorrow to serve with grilled salmon.  My mom served it with fried tilapia and it was the perfect accompaniment to a light fish.  

I’ve made this several times and it’s always a hit

This was so yummy! I didn't have green onions so used red onion, tossed it all with some cooked brown rice and BBQ'd chicken breast chunks. Lunches for hubby and I for the week. Delicious and easy

While this is an okay corn salad, the cheese didn't add much (except calories) and I felt like it needed more flavor. Maybe more vinegar and maybe some other ingredients--avocado?

So good, and pretty simple! I reduced the scallions to 4 and it was plenty.

So easy to make and so fresh! My family loves it!
