This fresh corn salad is a refreshingly simple side dish, perfect for a hot summer night or afternoon picnic.
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn, shucked
- ½ cup finely diced red onion
- 2 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 5 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add corn and cook until the starchiness is just gone, about 3 minutes. Drain and immerse immediately in ice water to stop the cooking process and to set the color. Allow to cool, about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Remove kernels, cutting close to the cobs.
Step 3
Toss corn kernels with red onion, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss in fresh basil just before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve at room temperature, or cold.
Cook’s Note:
This says to blanch the corn, but if you had leftover corn from the grill I think that would be yummy too, and in a pinch, you could use frozen or canned corn as well.
