Step 1
Start by combining the corn, chopped tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves in a large bowl. Drizzle in some olive oil and apple cider vinegar, then sprinkle a pinch of salt over everything. Give it all a good toss so the dressing coats the veggies evenly. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Let it sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
Why you’ll love it
This salad is a fresh and vibrant combination of sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, and fragrant basil. The tangy apple cider dressing adds a bright, zesty flavor that lifts all the ingredients. It’s light, healthy, and perfect for warm days or as a colorful side dish.
How to serve
This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or fish. It also works well as a topping for toasted bread or as a refreshing side for a summer picnic. Serve chilled for a cool, crisp bite.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To keep the salad fresh, add the dressing just before serving if you plan to store it longer. The basil may darken over time, so fresh leaves are best added last minute.
