Ingredients
  

  • 3 c. fresh sweet corn kernels
  • 2 c. halved grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 1 c. small mozzarella balls halved
  • 1/2 c. sliced basil
  • 3 tbsp. red or white wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Chopped fresh basil and oregano for garnishing

Instructions
 

  • Remove corn from cobs and add to a large bowl.
  • Mix in remaining ingredients and stir until well combined. Everything should be coated in the dressing.
  • Garnish with additional basil and fresh oregano, if desired. Salad may be served chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Since the corn is sweet, it will stand up to the tangy red or white wine vinegar. If you prefer a milder flavor, white balsamic vinegar may be substituted.
If you expect to have leftovers, refrain from adding the basil all at once, as it will blacken as it sits in the refrigerator. Instead, add it to servings individually at the table.
