Instructions

Step 1

Pull husks back from corn but don't remove; discard silks and replace husks. Soak in cold water 30 minutes; drain. Heat a charcoal grill or set a gas grill to medium-high. Grill corn, turning as needed, until husks are slightly charred and kernels are tender, 5-10 minutes; let cool, discard husks and slice kernels off cobs into a large bowl. Grill the onion, flipping once, until slightly charred and tender, 3-5 minutes. Roughly chop; add to the bowl with corn.

Step 2

Boil edamame in a 2-qt. saucepan of salted water until tender, 2-3 minutes. Transfer edamame to a bowl of ice water until chilled. Drain and add to the bowl with corn along with oil, vinegar, tarragon, tomatoes, salt, and pepper; toss to combine.
