Field Pea and Corn Salad
- 2 ears fresh corn, unhusked
- 2 slices red onion, about 1/2 inch thick
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing onion
- 1 cup cooked black-eyed peas
- 1/2 cup diced red tomato
- 1/2 cup diced green (unripe) tomato
- 1 small shallot, finely minced
- 2 tablespoons torn fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill to high.
- Grill the corn, turning often, until the husks are charred in spots and the kernels undergo the color change that indicates that they are cooked, about 10 minutes.
- (Peel back the husks and check a few kernels to be sure.)
- When the corn is cool enough to handle, husk it and cut the kernels from the cob.
- Place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Brush the onion slices lightly with olive oil on both sides.
- Grill the onion on both sides until charred in spots and lightly softened, about 5 minutes.
- Dice neatly and place in the bowl with the corn.
- Add the remaining ingredients and toss gently.
- Let rest at room temperature for 1 hour, then serve.
