4 Cup leaves, whole Basil
1/3 Cup Lime Juice
1 Dash Pepper
1 Dash Salt
2 Large Tomatoes
12 Ear medium (6-3/4" to 7-1/2" long) Corn

Directions

Coarsely chop thyme and tomatoes.

Husk and clean corn.

Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high.

Rub corn with 1 tablespoon oil.

Remove from grill; when cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cobs and transfer to a large bowl.

DO AHEAD: Corn can be made 3 hours ahead.

Let stand at room temperature.

Place onion in a strainer and rinse with cold water to mellow its flavor.

Drain well.

Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lime juice, if desired.

DO AHEAD: Salad can be assembled 1 hour ahead.
