For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the corn before adding it to the salad. This imparts a smoky sweetness that complements the other ingredients beautifully. If you don't have fresh basil, you can substitute with 1 tablespoon of dried basil, but fresh is highly recommended for the best flavor. To make your own balsamic vinaigrette, whisk together 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon of honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Consider adding other fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a more complex flavor profile. This salad is best served chilled. If making ahead, add the feta just before serving to prevent it from becoming soggy.
