1-1/2 lb. medium zucchini, julienned
Working with 1 zucchini at a time, cut lengthwise in very thin julienne strips, turning zucchini and avoiding core. Discard core. Toss zucchini strips with 1 tsp. of salt and let drain in colander set over bowl. Cover and chill, 1 hour.
Gently squeeze handfuls of zucchini to remove excess water and pad dry with towels.
Cook corn in boiling water until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain, then rinse under cold water.
Whisk together lemon juice, sugar, pepper, and remaining salt in a large bowl, then add oil in a slow stream whisking. Add zucchini, corn, tomatoes and basil. Toss well.
Salad can be made ahead, adding dressing and basil at the end.
