Ingredients

  • 6 ears of corn
  • 1/2 red onion, finely diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 cup fresh basil

Instructions

  • In a large pot, bring water to boil. Add shucked cor to the pot and boil for 3 minutes.
  • Remove corn from the boiling water and shock it in an ice bath. This will retain its bright yellow color and stop the cooking.
  • While waiting for the corn to cool, dice the red onion and the green pepper. Set aside.
  • When the corn is cool, remove the kernels of corn from the cob with a sharp knife and add them to a large bowl.
  • Add the onions and the pepper to the bowl.
  • Drizzle the apple cider vinegar and olive oil over the corn salad and add the salt and pepper. Toss well to combine.
  • Just before serving, cut fresh basil into chiffonades, sprinkle over the salad and toss well.
