Tomato Corn Toss

Sweet summer corn with cherry tomatoes, herbs, and a lemon–sherry vinaigrette. Fresh, crisp, and the easiest side you’ll make all season.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

• 3 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3–4 ears, depending on size)

• 2 Tbsp chives, finely sliced

• A handful of basil, torn or thinly sliced

• Juice of ½ lemon

• Olive oil (a generous drizzle)

• Sherry vinegar (1–2 splashes, to taste)

• Salt

Instructions

• Add cherry tomatoes, chives, and basil to a large bowl.

• Drizzle with olive oil, add the lemon juice, and splash in the sherry vinegar.

• Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.

• Toss gently until everything is coated.

• Taste and adjust: more lemon for brightness, more vinegar for tang, more basil for fragrance.

• Serve right away or let sit 10–15 minutes to marinate.
