Equipment
- Grill
Ingredients
- 2 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
- 4 ears corn on the cob shucked
- 1 sweet onion thick cut slices
- olive oil, kosher salt, pepper
- 2 to 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella (cut into smaller pieces or get the mini mozzarella balls)
- fresh basil cut into ribbons
- Optional: sliced French or Italian bread
Instructions
- Put the tomatoes in a bowl and put the corn and onion slices on a tray. Add olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper to the tomatoes and toss until coated. Brush olive oil on all sides of the corn and onion slices and season with kosher salt and pepper.
- Preheat the grill to medium high. Put the tomatoes in a grilling basket and onto the grill. The corn and onions can go right on the grill grate.
- Grill 10 to 12 minutes, turning the corn and onions and shaking the basket of the tomatoes a few times. Remove when cooked to your liking.
- Let everything cool. Cut the kernels off the corn cobs and dice the onion. Place the tomatoes, corn, and onions in a large bowl.
- Add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil. Toss together and taste for seasoning. Add more olive oil, balsamic, kosher salt, and/or pepper if needed.
- Serve with French or Italian bread if desired.
Notes
Blackstone griddle directions: Preheat your griddle to medium. Add cooking oil of choice along with the tomatoes, corn, and slices of onion. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Cook 10 to 12 minutes, mixing the tomatoes and flipping the corn and onion a few times.
