Grilled Corn Salad

•6 cobs of corn, grilled*

•1/2 cup diced red onion

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

•3 tablespoons olive oil

•3 tablespoons white wine vinegar

•1 teaspoon sugar

•1 teaspoon sea salt

•1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

•1/4 cup chopped basil

1.Preheat the grill to medium.  Remove the outer layers of the corn husks and then soak the whole cob in water for about 30 minutes.  Peel back remaining husks and remove hair.  Brush the kernels with olive oil; then pull husks back over the ear.   Place the cobs on the grill and cook for about 15 minutes. 

2.Once the cobs have cooled, cut kernels off the cob.

3.Add tomatoes, onion and basil to corn.

4.Combine oil, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper; mix well. 

5.Stir the dressing into the corn salad and enjoy!

 *The grilled corn gives the salad a nice smoky flavour, but you can also use cobs cooked on the stove top.
