Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 medium ears fresh corn
- 1½ cups halved pear or cherry tomatoes
- fresh basil, (for garnish)
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon granulated white sugar
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 6 large leaves fresh basil, (chopped)
- salt and pepper, (to taste)
Steps
-
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add salt and corn. Cook for 5 minutes, then transfer cobs to a paper towel-lined plate to cool and dry.
-
When cool, cut the kernels off the cob and transfer the kernels to a medium bowl. Stir in tomatoes. Refrigerate while making the dressing.
-
In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sugar, cornstarch, oregano and basil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the dressing thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Remove from heat, season with salt and pepper, and set aside to cool.
-
When ready to serve, drizzle dressing on top of the salad and toss gently. Garnish with additional basil, if desired.
