I blanched some corn on the cob for a minute and then cooled it and removed the kernels. To that I added diced green pepper (any color would do), finely minced red onion and halved grape tomatoes. You could also add black beans, but I didn't have any on hand. The dressing was a garlic clove mashed into a paste with salt, pepper, red wine vinegar, olive oil and minced basil. I added more basil to the dish when I was ready to serve. It was light, refreshing and good cold or at room temperature.

I change the dressing a bit by mashing a garlic clove with salt, and then whisking in white balsamic vinegar and olive oil. I like to include feta, pine nuts, cherry tomatoes and olives, but anything goes! It transports perfectly, is better at room temp, and has been a big hit this summer.
