Grilled Corn And Tomato Salad With Thai Basil Vinaigrette Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the corn in its husks in a bowl of heavily salted water overnight in the refrigerator. Keep the ears submerged below the surface of the water with a plate weighted down with a heavy can.
• Prepare and preheat your lump charcoal grill to medium low.
• Put the corn, still in its husks, on the grill, cover, and cook, turning occasionally, for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the garlic, jalapeño and a large pinch of salt. Add the lime zest, lime juice and olive oil and whisk to combine. Add the avocado, tomatoes, scallions and cilantro and toss gently to combine.
• Remove the corn from the grill. When cool enough to handle, peel back the husks, discard the silk and slice the kernels off the cobs with a knife. Add to the bowl of vegetables. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

For the salad: Toss together the corn, mint, parsley, capers and jalapenos in a large bowl. Season with the salt and a few grindings of fresh pepper. Add the tomatoes and toss with the vinaigrette. Garnish with the goat cheese and serve immediately.
