Ingredients

8 ears corn in the husk
2 cups quartered cherry tomatoes
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh basil

Dressing:

½ cup olive oil
¼ cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 ¼ teaspoons salt
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon grated lime zest
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Trim corn husks of any long hanging parts and excess silk. Place in a large bowl with water and soak for 1 hour.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Place corn on the grill and turn every 6 minutes 1/4 turn until all 4 sides have been grilled, about 24 minutes. Allow corn to cool until cold enough to handle easily.
Remove husks from cooled corn and cut corn off into a serving bowl. Add cherry tomatoes, red pepper, onion, and basil.
Whisk together olive oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, salt, garlic, lime zest, and pepper in a small bowl until well blended. Pour dressing over corn salad and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour.

Cook's Notes:

Grilling the corn in the husk makes it sweeter. The silk breaks down and gives it a great taste that needs no seasoning.

You can substitute fresh garlic with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. If you like, use canola oil instead of olive oil.

The longer the salad is refrigerated, the better it tastes.
