Directions

Preheat a grill pan over high heat.

Brush or rub each cob with some canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the corn on the hot grill and char each side, 2 to 3 minutes per side. You want the corn to get great char marks! Once the corn has charred, set aside until cool enough to handle. Once the corn has cooled, stand each ear up, stalk end down, in a wide, shallow bowl and, using your knife, slice the corn kernels off the cob.

Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette. In a food processor, add the basil and garlic and pulse until the basil starts to break down. Add the vinegar. Continue pulsing while adding the oil in a steady stream and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn, tomatoes and red onion. Drizzle the basil vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

    This recipe is so delicious, and easy! Nothing has to be done at the last minute, and you can adjust the flavors if you wish (my BF won't eat garlic, and I had scallions so I used them instead of the red onion. I will definitely make this again, perhaps with another poster's idea of adding bacon!

    This was fantastic, I made this for my family's fourth of July dinner and it was absolutely amazing. It has so many great flavors that I was eating it with a fork and actually thought maybe I need a spoon so I can shovel it in my mouth faster. This was so good, Five stars for you Kelsey and Five for me for pulling it off and having my family really enjoy it thank you.
