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.
