Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe heirloom tomatoes and sweet corn. If you can't find heirloom tomatoes, use a variety of colorful tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, and beefsteak tomatoes.
- To roast the corn, you can use a grill, a broiler, or a roasting pan in the oven. If you're using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat and cook the corn for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally. If you're using a broiler, preheat it to high and cook the corn for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally. If you're using a roasting pan, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and roast the corn for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Once the corn is roasted, let it cool slightly before cutting it off the cob. You can use a sharp knife or a corn stripper to remove the kernels.
- To make the vinaigrette, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper. You can also add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
- To assemble the salad, combine the roasted corn, tomatoes, red onion, and fresh basil in a large bowl. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for later. This salad is best enjoyed within a few hours of making it.
