Categories     side-dish

Time 13m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 ears of corn, shucked
1/2 cup small-diced red onion (1 small onion)
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
3 tablespoons good olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup julienned fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn for 3 minutes until the starchiness is just gone. Drain and immerse it in ice water to stop the cooking and to set the color. When the corn is cool, cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob.
  • Toss the kernels in a large bowl with the red onions, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Just before serving, toss in the fresh basil. Taste for seasonings and serve cold or at room temperature.

CORN OFF THE COB

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 cup chicken stock, plus more if needed
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 ears corn, shucked and kernels cut off
8 ears corn, shucked and kernels cut off
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, heavy cream, corn and some salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is mostly evaporated and the corn is soft. If the corn isn¿t done but the liquid is gone, add a little more stock and continue cooking. Stir in the vinegar and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest corn possible: Look for ears with bright green husks and plump, tightly packed kernels.
  • Cook the corn properly: Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy. Boil the corn for 3-5 minutes, or until the kernels are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Let the corn cool completely before cutting it off the cob: This will make it easier to cut the kernels off the cob and prevent them from sticking to the knife.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob: A dull knife will crush the kernels and make them mushy.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Diced red onion, chopped cilantro, crumbled feta cheese, or diced avocado are all great additions to corn off the cob salad.
  • Dress the salad with a simple vinaigrette: A vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper is a classic dressing for corn off the cob salad. You can also use a store-bought dressing, if you prefer.

Conclusion:

Corn off the cob salad is a delicious and refreshing summer salad that is easy to make and packed with flavor. It is a great way to use fresh corn on the cob and is a perfect side dish for grilled chicken, fish, or steak. With its sweet and savory flavors, corn off the cob salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
