Grill

When tomatoes arrive at the farmers market, this is the salad that I love making again and again. I strongly encourage everyone to use this recipe as a loose guideline and get creative. Substitute any creamy savory cheese for the feta (try burrata, ricotta, robiola); substitute homemade breadcrumbs for the hazelnuts; or add any of your favorite fresh herbs. <br /> <br />The tomatoes should stay constant (cut open and lightly marinated with olive oil, salt, pepper, and sherry vinegar)—but everything else in this salad is fair game to swap in or out as you wish. Just remember to maintain the general idea of the salad, which is something crunchy (the hazelnuts), something salty and creamy (the feta), and something grilled (the corn). <br /> <br />The measurements in this recipe are inexact (a handful of this, and handful of that...). Please embrace the inexactness. Go to the farmers market, but a few handfuls of the items that look most beautiful to you, and use approximations to make this salad delicious. You can do it!
