Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place a 12x12-inch piece of Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil on the grill. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Brush the shucked corn with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. In a small bowl, mix together 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the oiled corn. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Place the seasoned corn on the foil. Grill for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels begin to char and are tender-crisp. Remove from the grill and let cool slightly. (12 minutes)

04

Step

Once the corn is cool enough to handle, slice the kernels off the cob. (5 minutes)

05

Step

In a medium bowl, gently toss together the grilled corn kernels, chopped heirloom tomatoes, diced red onion, and roughly chopped basil leaves. (3 minutes)

06

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together 0.25 cup of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Pour the dressing over the corn salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. (1 minute)

08

Step

Serve immediately. For an extra touch, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh basil.

For the best flavor, use vine-ripened heirloom tomatoes at their peak ripeness.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as mint or parsley, to add a unique twist to the salad.
If you don't have a grill, you can roast the corn in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred.
The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing for a little heat.

    I didn't have heirloom tomatoes, so I used cherry tomatoes instead. It was still delicious!
