Grilled Corn, Basil And Ground Cherry Salad

10 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/8 cup olive oil
  • juice of one small lime
  • zest of the lime
  • sea salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 4 ears grilled corn
  • 1 cup husked whole ground cherries (see below)
  • 1 cup cucumber, quartered lengthwise, deseeded, and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons basil, cut into a fine chiffonade
  • 2 tablespoons shallot, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon jalapeno pepper, minced finely (add more if you prefer)

Directions

  1. 1
    Wash the ground cherries in their husks. I have better luck removing the husks if they are moistened. Pinch the base of the husk away from the cherry - it should slide off easily.
  2. 2
    Prepare the vinaigrette by combining the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest and salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. 3
    Place the grilled corn, ground cherries, cukes, basil, shallot, and jalapeno into a medium sized serving bowl and mix the ingredients thoroughly.
  4. 4
    Add the vinaigrette, mix all ingredients, and chill in the refrigerator.
