Heirloom Tomato Salad with Charred Corn & Pepper Salsa


The roasted pepper and corn salsa that tops this gorgeous tomato salad has a kick from the tart sherry vinegar and moderately spicy and fruity Aleppo pepper. Red-wine vinegar and ground ancho chile are good alternatives. Grill some chicken, fish or other protein along with the corn for an easy summer dinner.

Ingredients

  • 4 ears corn, husked
  • 1 cup chopped jarred roasted red peppers, liquid in the jar reserved
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar plus 2 teaspoons, divided
  • 1¼ teaspoons Aleppo pepper, divided
  • ½ teaspoon chopped fresh summer savory or oregano
  • 2¼ pounds heirloom tomatoes
  • ¾ teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • ½ cup crumbled queso fresco
