This is one of my FAVORITE recipes (it is my Mom's!) If you are socially distancing with family or friends...give this a try! Or make it for yourself. It. Is. SO good. Really fresh!
FRESH CORN TOMATO SALAD
3 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
6 ears fresh corn, husked (about 4 cups corn kernels)
2 cups red or orange grape tomatoes, halved
1 bunch scallions (white and green), thinly sliced
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into small cubes
1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves
Whisk the vinegar, salt, and 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. Toss in the tomatoes, scallions, and mozzarella. Pour the vinagrette over the salad and toss to coat. Cover and let set for 15 minutes or up to 2 hours. Before serving tear the basil over the salad and stir.
