Courtesy of Fine Cooking Aug/Sept 2015
Serves 4
3 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil
3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 medium cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 red bell peppers, seeded and quartered
2 small yellow summer squash, sliced on a sharp diagonal 1/2 inch thick
2 small zucchini, sliced on a sharp diagonal 1/2 inch thick
2 ears of corn, husked
1 cup cherry tomatoes preferably a mix of colors, halved
2 scallions, thinly sliced on a diagonal
Flakey sea salt (optional)
Directions:
Brush the peppers, squash, zucchini, and corn with 1 Tbsp. oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until tender with nice grill marks. 10 to 15 minutes. Arrange all but the corn on a large platter and drizzle with the vinaigrette.
Cut the corn from the cob and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the tomatoes and the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil and 1 Tbsp. basil. Season with salt and gently toss. Spoon the corn and tomato mixture over the other vegetables. Sprinkle with the scallions and sea salt, if using, and serve.
