3
Transfer the wakame to a mini food processor and add the tofu, capers, garlic, miso, mustard, nutritional yeast and lemon juice.

Light a grill.
8
Brush the corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
9
Grill over high heat, turning, until tender and lightly charred all over, about 5 minutes.

When the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cobs into a medium bowl.

Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the lemon juice and basil and season with salt and pepper.
12
Spread the sauce on plates and top with the tomatoes.
13
