FRESH CORN AND TOMATO SALAD
Steps:
- Whisk together the vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt and some pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth dressing.
- Shear off the corn kernels with a sharp knife over a bowl (you should have about 4 cups). Toss in the tomatoes, mozzarella and scallions. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat. Cover and let stand for at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours. Before serving, tear the basil over the salad and stir.

Steps:
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn for 3 minutes until the starchiness is just gone. Drain and immerse it in ice water to stop the cooking and to set the color. When the corn is cool, cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob.
- Toss the kernels in a large bowl with the red onions, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Just before serving, toss in the fresh basil. Taste for seasonings and serve cold or at room temperature.

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).

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.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. The better the tomatoes, the better the salad will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slightly sweet smell.
- Use fresh basil. Fresh basil has a much more intense flavor than dried basil. If you can't find fresh basil, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried basil instead.
- Use a variety of corn. You can use fresh corn, frozen corn, or canned corn in this salad. If you're using fresh corn, cook it until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- Make sure the dressing is well-balanced. The dressing for this salad should be sweet, tangy, and creamy. Adjust the amounts of sugar, vinegar, and mayonnaise to taste.
- Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
Conclusion:
This tomato, basil, and corn salad with apple cider dressing is a delicious and refreshing summer salad. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy side dish, give this salad a try!
