Instructions

Rub the ears of shucked corn with enough oil to coat, then grill the corn according to instructions for grilled corn on the cob. See recipe notes below for alternate cooking methods.

When corn is cool enough to handle, place the bottom of each corn cob in a bowl, and using a sharp knife, remove the corn by cutting from top to bottom.

Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl of corn and toss well to combine. Adjust the seasoning as necessary and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Char Your Corn for Depth 🌽
Lightly char fresh corn kernels in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to the salad to develop a subtle smoky sweetness that elevates the entire dish.
Salt the Tomatoes First 🍅
Cut and salt your cherry tomatoes 10 minutes before assembling to draw out excess moisture and concentrate their natural sweetness and acidity.
Bruise Your Basil Gently 🌿
Lightly slap or tear fresh basil leaves by hand just before serving rather than cutting them with a knife to preserve their delicate oils and prevent browning.
Emulsify Your Lime Dressing 🍋
Whisk lime juice with sea salt and let sit for 30 seconds before adding olive oil, then whisk vigorously to create a light emulsion that coats each ingredient evenly.
Chill Before Serving ❄️
Refrigerate the assembled salad for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld and marry together while keeping the corn and tomatoes perfectly crisp and fresh.
