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).
