Ingredients





* 1/2 cup chopped red onion


* 1 tablespoon olive oil


* 4 cups fresh corn kernels


* 2 cups cherry tomatoes such as Sweet 100s (about 10 oz.), rinsed, stemmed, and halved if larger than 3/4 inch


* 1/4 cup slivered fresh basil leaves


* 3 tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar


* Salt and pepper


* 2 ounces fresh ch猫vre (goat) cheese, crumbled





Preparation





1. In a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat, stir onion in olive oil until limp, 5 to 7 minutes. Add corn and stir often just until tender to bite, 5 to 6 minutes.





2. Pour mixture into a wide serving bowl and stir in tomatoes, basil, and vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste.





3. Sprinkle goat cheese over salad; serve warm or at room temperature.





Cutting kernels: An average ear of corn weighs from 10 to 14 ounces and yields about 1 cup of kernels. To remove them, with a large, sharp knife, cut off and discard the stem end of each ear down to the beginning of the kernels. Pull off and discard the husks and silks; rinse ears. Holding each ear upright, shear off the kernels close to the cob.











3 tablespoons white wine vinegar





2 teaspoons kosher salt





Freshly ground black 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 vinaigrette 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.
