Ingredients
- 8 ears corn in the husk
- 2 cups quartered cherry tomatoes
- 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
Dressing
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 ¼ teaspoons salt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon grated lime zest
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Trim corn husks of any long hanging parts and excess silk. Place in a large bowl with water and soak for 1 hour.
Step 2
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 3
Place corn on the grill and turn every 6 minutes 1/4 turn until all 4 sides have been grilled, about 24 minutes. Allow corn to cool until cold enough to handle easily.
Step 4
Remove husks from cooled corn and cut corn off into a serving bowl. Add cherry tomatoes, red pepper, onion, and basil.
Step 5
Whisk together olive oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, salt, garlic, lime zest, and pepper in a small bowl until well blended. Pour dressing over corn salad and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.
Cook’s Notes:
Grilling the corn in the husk makes it sweeter. The silk breaks down and gives it a great taste that needs no seasoning.
