Instructions

  1. Heat your grill to 350 degrees. While your grill is pre-heating, shuck your corn if needed and baste your them with olive oil. When the grill is ready, place on the grill and cook for 30 minutes, turning every so often to char all sides. Remove when corn is bright yellow and charred.
  2. While your corn is cooking, wash and cut your grape tomatoes in half and set aside.
  3. Make your dressing by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl and whisking well. Place in the fridge to cool until ready to use.
