- Using 4 medium sized ears of sweet corn, bring a pot of water to a boil, and cook the corn until tender. This should take approximately 5 minutes or less.
- While the corn is cooking, place 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1/2 cup of basil leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt into a food processor until blended.
- Once the corn is finished, drain and place in a pot too cool. Next, in a medium sized bowl, cut the corn from the cob and stir in tomatoes and pepper.
