Time 1h

Yield 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ears sweet corn, husks removed
2 small summer squash, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 medium sweet red pepper, cut into 4 wedges
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch rings
1 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
12 fresh basil leaves, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

Fill a stock pot two-thirds with water and bring to a boil. Add the corn, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove corn.
Spray your grill rack with non-stick spray before you start the grill. Grill the corn, squash, red pepper and onion over medium heat 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, til lightly browned. Remove and let cool slightly for handling.
Cut corn from cobs (you can buy a handy gadget for this or use a broad knife), cut squash, red pepper,and onion into smallish (think salsa sized, for dipping, etc.) pieces. Transfer to a large bowl and add the tomato.
In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Shake well and immediately pour over corn mixture, tossing to coat.
Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until chilled.
