Tomato and Corn Summer Salad

3 medium garden ripe tomatoes
3 cups corn kernels cooked and cooled to room temp(Costco's frozen corn works beautifully)
4 slices thick cut bacon (fat reserved)
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup sherry vinegar (any vinegar you like works fine)
2 Tbls. fresh basil

Cut bacon into small pieces and fry until crisp. Set aside to drain and reserve 4 Tbsp. bacon grease. Add onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add vinegar and reduce for a few minutes or until the vinaigrette thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.

Dice tomatoes and toss with the corn. Slice basil into strips. Pour vinaigrette over salad, add basil and toss. Garnish with cooked bacon. Enjoy!
