Instructions
- Whisk together the vinegar, 2 teaspoons salt and some 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 (you should have about 4 cups). Toss in the tomatoes, mozzarella and scallions. Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss to coat.

This recipe is a keeper. I made a half recipe because I only had three ears of corn and it went in one sitting. I will get more corn tomorrow and make a full recipe because this is the perfect time while the corn is so fresh. It will remain on my list of must haves
This is a perfect summer salad. I have made several times with raw in season corn and that is the best. I have also used a cast iron skillet to grill corn for some color. Also, to folks concerned re basil being overwhelming, use the chiffonade method. It’s perfect for basil and mint. Google it. And someone commented re using red wine vinegar rather than “plain” vinegar. The recipe ingredients include white wine vinegar, not white vinegar. I’m sure any adaptation would be delicious. Even balsamic. This salad is a summertime keeper!
Fresh, summer flavors that are so satisfying. Serve with artisan crisps,/ flatbread crackers or pita chips as an appetizer. Add grilled chicken for a complete summer meal. Just make this!
So fresh and flavorful! Perfect summer side dish,
I Think the recipe will be wonderful. Cant wait to try it!!!
Making this today, for tomorrow. Has anyone made it the day before?
I was concerned about the uncooked corn when I first looked at the recipe. After reading some reviews I decided to try it.
So crispy, fresh, so much flavor! I love it, my 95 year old mother went back for seconds. I would give it 10 stars if that were an option!!

This is so simple and it’s delicious!
I made this for a gathering at my house and had to send out the recipe. Next time I make it, I think I will sub feta for the Mozz.
Followed this recipe exactly (except I halved the recipe) using 3 freshly cooked/shucked corn. Also added feta. All the ingredients are now in season and this salad is unbelievably delicious and so easy to make.
