TOMATO, CORN, AND BASIL SALAD RECIPE



Tomato, Corn, and Basil Salad Recipe image

Fresh tomato, corn, and basil make the perfect, ultra-summer salad that's tasty with any grilled meat or on its own.

Provided by Molly Watson

Categories     Salad

Time 15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (or vegetable oil)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 shallot (or 1/4 small red onion)
3 ears corn
3 medium tomatoes
2 sprigs basil

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a salad bowl mix together the oil, vinegar, and salt.
  • Peel and mince the shallot. Add it to the dressing and stir to combine.
  • Husk the corn and use a sharp knife to cut off the kernels . When cutting corn kernels from the cob, be careful not to cut too deep: If you have a sharp knife and meet any resistance at all, you're cutting too deep and may end up with tough, woody knobs at the end of the kernels.
  • To prepare the tomatoes, use a sharp knife to cut out the stem end and core underneath.
  • Cut the tomatoes in half along the equator, squeeze out and discard the seeds and extra juice, and chop.
  • Toss the corn and tomatoes with dressing.
  • Slice the basil into thin strips (called chiffonade ). Sprinkle the salad with the ribbons of basil and serve. The salad will keep for a few hours topped with the basil or two to three days without the basil (sprinkle the basil on top just before serving).

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2-3 Thai or serrano chiles, ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, pressed
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for grill
1 (14-ounce) block firm tofu, cut into 1/2" planks
1 pound green beans or mix of green beans and yellow wax beans, trimmed
1 ripe but firm mango (about 1 pound), thinly sliced on the bias
1 small carrot (about 5 ounces), thinly sliced on the bias
1/2 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped, plus 1 tablespoon leaves
2 ripe avocados, cut into quarters, skin removed
2 tablespoons chopped salted, roasted peanuts
1 small head of lettuce (such as romaine hearts or Bibb), separated into leaves for wrapping
Special Equipment
A flat grill basket (about 13 1/2 x 8 1/2") or grill pan

Steps:

  • Whisk chiles, garlic, lime juice, sugar, soy sauce, and salt in a small bowl. Pour half of sauce into a shallow dish; reserve remaining sauce. Add 1 Tbsp. oil to sauce in shallow dish and whisk to combine. Add tofu and gently toss; set aside to marinate.
  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat (or heat a grill pan over medium-high). If using grill, arrange beans in grill basket and place on hot grill. Cover and grill, turning once halfway through, until beans are lightly charred and crisp-tender, about 8 minutes. If using grill pan, cook beans directly on pan, tossing occasionally, until well charred and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove tofu from marinade, reserving marinade, and transfer to a plate; pat dry. Brush grill and tofu with oil and grill tofu, turning once halfway through, until lightly charred, 2-3 minutes per side. If using grill, be careful when turning, as tofu may stick. Transfer to plate and drizzle with reserved marinade.
  • Toss beans, mango, carrot, and 1/2 cup chopped cilantro with reserved sauce. Transfer to a platter and arrange tofu and avocados alongside. Top with peanuts and 1 Tbsp. cilantro leaves. Arrange lettuce leaves on another platter. To serve, wrap tofu, avocado, and bean mixture in lettuce leaves.
