Step 1

Make the basil oil by very finely chopping 3-4 of your basil leaves, and mixing with the olive oil and a small squeeze of lemon. (you can also do this in a food processor). Let that sit while you assemble everything else.

Step 2

Toss together the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, corn kernels and remainder of sliced basil with a bit of salt & pepper.

Step 3

Drizzle basil oil on top (however much you want), along with a splash of balsamic vinegar.

Step 4

Top with pine nuts and red pepper flakes. Serve with the remaining basil oil on the side.
