Ingredients

  • 4 large ears sweet corn in husks
  • 1-1/2 cups uncooked penne pasta
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
  • 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Method

  • Carefully peel back corn husks to within 1 in. of bottom; remove silk. Rewrap corn in husks and secure with kitchen string. Place in a stockpot; cover with cold water. Soak for 20 minutes; drain.
  • Grill corn, covered, over medium heat for 25-30 minutes or until tender, turning often.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. When corn is cool enough to handle, remove kernels from cobs and place in a large bowl. Add the pasta, tomatoes, zucchini and olives.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients. Pour over salad and toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
