Ingredients

8 total
  • 4 fresh corn, husks removed
  • 3 tbsp of cider vinegar
  • 3 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 0.5 red onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp of vegetable oil, or rapeseed oil
  • 20 g of fresh basil
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed

Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat a griddle pan over a high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Rub the corn with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then palce on the griddle and char for about 3 minutes each side. Once the corn has cooled, slice the kernels off each cob.

  3. Step 3

    To make the vinaigrette, pulse the basil and garlic in a blender until the basil starts to break down. Add the vinegar and keep pulsing while adding the oil in a steady stream until smooth.

  4. Step 4

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