Ingredients

  • 4 cobs of corn

  • 3 tbsp white-wine vinegar

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

  • 1/8 tsp salt

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro

  • 4 to 5 hot Italian sausage, about 500 g

  • 8 cups mixed salad greens

  • 500 g cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat barbecue to medium-high. Peel back corn husks but do not remove from cobs. Peel off and discard silk. Re-cover corn with husks. Soak cobs in water for 5 min.

  • Meanwhile, stir vinegar with garlic, cayenne and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in oil. Stir in cilantro.

  • Oil grill. Barbecue sausages and corn. Turn sausages occasionally until cooked through, 10 to 12 min. Turn corn frequently until tender, at least 8 min. Spray any flare-ups with water if necessary. When cool enough to handle, remove and peel back husk, then, using a knife, shave corn from cob. Thickly slice sausages.

  • Divide greens, corn, sausage and tomatoes between plates. Drizzle with dressing.
