I could have attacked this whole dish with a spoon, it was that good. Fresh corn and some poblano get slightly smoky under the broiler, and then mingle with the fresh flavors of tomato, scallion, and basil. My friend Dorothy asked for the recipe, and I said, "What recipe? I threw it together." But it was easy enough that I roughly remembered everything.
Fans of cilantro can substitute that herb for the basil. Feel free to use more poblano if you like it spicy, or substitute a hotter pepper. I meant to use lime, but after sampling a little salad with some juice I felt the lime overpowered the other flavors. Throw in other vegetables that you like, and make it your own -- just keep tasting and re-seasoning. For my personal tastes, it was the perfect summer salad.
