PAN-ROASTED CORN AND TOMATO SALAD
You can take a corn and tomato salad in a number of directions, but at the end of the day it shouldn't be much more than a dish you can make perfectly only in mid- to late summer, and one that showcases its primary ingredients. My version here marries corn and tomatoes with chile, avocado, cilantro and lime. It is just plain good. At the end, you've got meaty smokiness from bacon; that incredible sweetness of corn; the fruity acidity of tomato; the tender, smooth fattiness of avocado, and the sharpness of chile. It's a summer winner, one that you shouldn't even try after the first frost.

- Heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallions and garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add corn, edamame, and remaining salt. Cook, stirring, until starting to caramelize, about 10 minutes (reduce heat to medium if overbrowning). Add tomatoes and vinegar; cook until tomatoes start to collapse, about 8 minutes.
- Drizzle basil oil on vegetables, and stir. Serve immediately.
CORN SALAD WITH TOMATOES, BASIL AND CILANTRO
High summer produce comes together in this simple mix, tangy with lime juice and full of fresh herbs. Even in the height of the season, corn gets a touch sweeter when heated, and the easiest way to do it is in the microwave. It takes just a few minutes to zap the corn cobs in their husks, which makes them easy to shuck. The silks will slip right off the sweeter and still-crisp corn. Picking basil and cilantro leaves by hand then tearing them right over the salad keeps their delicate fragrance intact. Serve this with anything off the grill or alongside tacos or sandwiches.

Steps:
- Microwave the corn in their husks on high for 3 minutes. Shuck the corn - the silks will come off easily. (If you want to boil or steam the corn on the stovetop, you can shuck the corn first then cook just until brighter in color, 2 to 3 minutes.) Cut the kernels off the cobs, transfer them to a large bowl and add the tomatoes.
- Finely grate the zest of the lime directly over the corn mixture, then squeeze the juice from the lime all over. Add the oil, a generous pinch of salt and the chile, if using. Mix well, then tear the herbs over the salad and gently fold them in. Season to taste with salt and serve, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 day.

Steps:
- Using large knife, cut corn kernels from cob. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add corn; sauté until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add half of basil.
- Transfer corn mixture to large bowl. Cool slightly, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomatoes, vinegar, 3 tablespoons oil and remaining basil. Season with salt and pepper. Cover; chill 3 hours or up to 8 hours.
SAUTEED FRESH CORN
Steps:
- Remove the husks and the silk from the corn and cut the kernels off as close to the husk as possible without removing any of the husk. You should have about 7 cups of kernels.
- Melt the butter in a large, heavy saute pan. Add the corn, salt, and pepper and saute uncovered on medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the starchiness in the corn is gone. Taste, for salt and pepper, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, sweet corn. Look for ears with bright green husks and plump kernels. Avoid ears with brown or dried-out husks, as these are signs of old corn.
- Use ripe tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice for this recipe, as they are firm and have a sweet flavor. You can also use cherry tomatoes, which will add a pop of color and sweetness to the dish.
- Use fresh basil. Basil is a key ingredient in this recipe, as it adds a bright, herbaceous flavor. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Don't overcook the corn. Corn only takes a few minutes to cook, so be careful not to overcook it, as this will make it tough. Cook the corn until it is just tender and slightly browned.
- Serve immediately. Sautéed corn is best served immediately, while it is still hot and fresh. You can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Sautéed corn with tomatoes and basil is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is a great way to use up fresh corn and tomatoes, and it is also a healthy and flavorful dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a dish that will impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
