Fresh Corn Salad
Author: 
 
Full of fresh garden flavors and crunchy sweet corn, this is the taste of summer. Don't be tempted to use frozen corn for this; it won't have the same punch.
Ingredients
  • 5 ears of corn, shucked (you can use white, yellow, or a combination of both)
  • ½ small red onion, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ cup fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips
Instructions
  1. Prepare a bowl or fill a sink with ice water.
  2. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the corn for three minutes, then drain and immerse in the ice water to stop the cooking.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the red onion, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. When the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob with a sharp knife.
  5. Toss the kernels into the bowl with the onion mixture.
  6. Add the basil, toss it all together, and serve cold or at room temperature.
