Carole

This had a nice flavour and the corn had a sweetness. Love the simplicity of Mark's recipes!

Dina

So simple, so delicious. Perfect summer dinner.

Bob near Boston

We had no basil leaves. The corn and yellow cherry tomatoes were freshly picked, bursting with flavor that blended well with EVOO, balsamic vinegar and red cherry tomatoes. Salad felt complete.

Lizzy

I add mozzerella, avocado, and occasionally fresh peaches. Delicious!

Scott

Grill corn a bit.
