1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large lemons, juiced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
About 15 grinds freshly ground pepper
Instructions

not soft. Remove the cooled potatoes to a dish-cloth to drain. Immerse corn in the same ice bath until cool.
Cut each potato into quarters and place in a large bowl.
Remove corn from water and also let drain. Use a chef's knife to cut the kernels off each ear. Add kernels to
bowl. Add grape tomatoes, onion, and whole basil leaves. Add olive oil and lemon juice and toss gently to
combine. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
