GRILLED CORN AND TOMATO SALAD WITH THAI BASIL VINAIGRETTE DRESSING
Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
- Salad: Peel back the corn husks, but do not remove them completely. Carefully pick off and discard the wispy silk threads that are attached to the corn. Pull the husks back over the ears and tie the ends closed with kitchen twine. Soak the corn in large bowl of cold water for 10 minutes. Drain the water, shake off the excess and put them on the grill for 15 minutes, turning every 3 to 4 minutes until the corn is tender. Remove them from the grill and let the ears cool to room temperature.
- Vinaigrette: While the corn is cooling, prepare the dressing. Puree all the ingredients, except the canola oil, in a blender or food processor. After the mixture is well incorporated, slowly drizzle in the canola oil while the processor is still running. Blend for 30 seconds, then transfer the dressing to a bowl.
- Assembly: Once the corn has cooled, cut the kernels off the cobs into a medium bowl and discard the cobs. Add the red onion and grape tomatoes and mix to combine. Drizzle in 1/2 cup of the Thai Basil Vinaigrette Dressing while lightly tossing the salad together. Reserve the remaining dressing. Gently stir in the basil leaves. Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste, and add more dressing, if desired. Serve slightly chilled on serving plates, using a slotted spoon to keep excess liquids in the bowl.

Steps:
- For the sauce: Scoop the flesh and juices of the tomatoes out of the skins with a spoon into a bowl; discard the empty skins. Whisk in the vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, breaking up the tomato as you do. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream to make a chunky, slightly thick dressing. Roughly chop the basil and stir into the dressing. Set aside for 15 minutes to let the flavors come together. Remove the garlic.
- For the vegetables: Pour an inch or more of water in a wok or skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Place the vegetables in a bamboo or collapsible steamer. Set the steamer over the boiling water, cover, and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or just until the vegetables are crisp tender. Serve warm or at room temperature with the dressing.
Tips:
- Select ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your dressing. Choose ripe, in-season tomatoes that are bursting with flavor.
- Use fresh basil: Fresh basil is essential for this dressing. Its aromatic flavor will brighten up the dressing and add a touch of sweetness.
- Don't over-process the ingredients: To maintain the texture and freshness of the ingredients, avoid over-processing them. Lightly pulse them in a food processor or chop them by hand.
- Adjust the consistency: The consistency of the dressing is up to your preference. If you like a thinner dressing, add more olive oil or water. For a thicker dressing, use less olive oil or add more tomatoes.
- Let the flavors meld: Allow the dressing to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and develop.
