Red Potato, Corn and Cherry Tomato Salad
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 34 cup olive oil
- 1 12 cups fresh basil leaves, packed
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 12 lbs red potatoes, small, quartered (do not peel)
- 6 ears corn, shucked
- 12 lb cherry tomatoes, halved and seeded
- 1 cup red onion, chopped
- Whirl the vinegar, oil, basil, salt and pepper in a blender to prepare the dressing.
- Cook the corn; remove kernels from the cobs and cool completely.
- Cover the potatoes in water (about 2 inches higher than the potatoes).
- Cook until tender (approx.
- 10-15 minutes).
- Drain and cool slightly.
- Toss with most of the dressing and set aside.
- When completely cool, toss with the remaining ingredients and the balance of the dressing.
- Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Best served at room temperature to allow the flavors to come through.
- In a hurry?
- Use one tube of prepared basil in place of fresh basil.
- Shake the dressing to mix, do not use blender.
- Steam a large bag of frozen, petite yellow corn and cool it.
- I sometimes toss everything together, except the cherry tomatoes, while its still warm.
