UPLOADED/REDIRECTED Tomato Peach Salad

A balance of acidity and sweetness, this salad is part of a tapas-style meal shared by Justin Severino

When you ask Morcilla and Salty Pork Bits chef Justin Severino what you should make for dinner, the answer is likely to be: “Cook from your heart. Cook what you want to eat and share it the best that you can.” His generous, freestyling approach to a family meal means that a range of dishes appear all at once at the table, tapas-style. That way, the passing around, the tasting, the conversation, blend seamlessly into something even greater than the sum of its wonderful parts.

TOMATO PEACH SALAD

Serves 4

Ingredients:

For the vinaigrette:
8 oz sherry vinegar
4 oz water
4 oz sugar
Salt
2 ears of corn, husked
2 shallots, sliced thin

For the salad:
2 large tomatoes cut into chunks
3 peaches cut into chunks
2 oz olive oil
2 lemons, zested and juiced
8 oz feta
10 basil leaves

Directions:

In a saucepot, bring the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt to a boil.

Roast the corn over a grill or burner until nicely caramelized and hot. Remove the kernels from the cob using a knife. Put the corn kernels and the sliced shallots into a bowl and pour the pickling liquid over top.

Refrigerate for 1 hour.

In a large bowl toss the tomatoes and peaches in the pickled corn vinaigrette, the olive oil, and the lemon zest and juice. Garnish with feta and basil. Serve at room temperature.
