This refreshing salad combines sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, and fragrant basil for a burst of summer flavors. Tossed in a tangy apple cider dressing, it’s the perfect light and vibrant side dish for any meal.
Start by combining the corn, chopped tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves in a large bowl. Drizzle in some olive oil and apple cider vinegar, then sprinkle a little salt over everything. Give it all a good toss so the dressing coats every bite. Taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to. Let it sit for a few minutes so the flavors can mingle before serving.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Grill or roast the corn for a smoky depth, or use raw corn for a crisp bite.
- Let the salad sit for 10-15 minutes after tossing to allow the flavors to meld.
This salad is fresh and vibrant, combining sweet corn and juicy tomatoes with the bright flavors of basil and a tangy apple cider dressing. It’s light yet satisfying, making it perfect for warm days or as a colorful side dish.
Serve this salad chilled or at room temperature alongside grilled chicken or fish. It also pairs well with crusty bread or can be added to a grain bowl for extra freshness.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the tomatoes and dressing may cause the corn to soften over time.
