Servings: persons

3 cups fresh corn kernels (3-4 ears)
1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and cut in half
1 small red onion, cut half then into thin slices
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped
fresh ground pepper, to taste
kosher salt, to taste

1
Cut the corn kernels from the ears, while bringing a pot of water to a boil.
2
When the water comes to a boil, add the corn kernels and blanch for about 1 minute. Remove them with a strainer and set aside.
3
Let the water return to a boil and season generously with salt. Add the beans and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain the beans and flush with cold water until they are cool.
4
Meanwhile, put the onion slices in a bowl of ice water, which will crips them and mellow their flavor.
5
Using either a mortar and pestel or the flat side of a chef's knife, mash the garlic to a paste with a pinch of salt.
6
Add the paste to a small bowl (or leave it in the mortar) and whisk in the vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes. Add the olive oil and whisk again.
7
Just before serving, drain the onions. Put the beans, corn, onions, tomatoes, and basil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and then toss with the vinaigrette. Season further if required. Serve right away.
