Blistered Corn and Scallion Salad

With a straightforward ingredient list, this summertime corn salad is easy enough to throw together in a jiff and features not one but two acids for extra brightness. Blistering the corn and scallions on a grill yields a smoky flavor that adds plenty of depth. If grilling feels like an effort, you can easily char both the kernels and scallion slices in a dry cast-iron pan (just be sure to get some good color!). Licorice-y Thai basil pairs really well with the punchy sherry vinegar, but if you can’t get your hands on it, regular basil will absolutely do the trick.
