Directions

Preheat the broiler.

  1. In a small bowl mix together the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Brush the corn with the seasoned olive oil and transfer to a baking tray. Toss the tomatoes with the remaining olive oil. Pour onto the baking try with the corn, cut side up.
  2. Put into the broiler, turning the corn occasionally, for about 7 to 10 minutes or until the corn is browned and the tomatoes have broken down.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl mix the shallots, vinegar, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Add the tomatoes straight from the broiler to the shallot and vinegar mixture. Mix well. Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cob. Toss with the tomatoes, then add the torn basil. Taste for salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

 

💵Tips

In the winter look to frozen corn. Toss a pack of frozen kernels in a little olive oil and roast them until they turn golden. Don’t thaw them out – cook them from frozen.

 

Corn and Tomato Salad Nutritional Value

Corn and tomato salad is not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients that contribute to a healthy diet. This vibrant dish combines sweet corn and juicy tomatoes, both of which are rich in vitamins and minerals. Corn is an excellent source of dietary fiber, which supports digestive health, as well as B vitamins like thiamin and folate that aid in energy production and cell function. It also contains antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which promote eye health. On the other hand, tomatoes are loaded with vitamin C, potassium, and the powerful antioxidant lycopene, known for its potential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Together, these ingredients create a low-calorie, nutrient-dense side dish that’s perfect for any meal. For an extra boost, many recipes include olive oil and fresh herbs, adding healthy fats and even more vitamins to this simple yet wholesome salad.
