SECRET RECIPE COLD CORN SALAD
I definitely recommend doubling this recipe as it is so good that you won't have a kernel left. If you are serving this to kids you don't have to put in the red onion and if you have trouble finding sour pickles a deli will always sell you some sour pickle juice if you just ask. Due to the pickle juice, this will develop a sour taste if left overnight so use within a couple of hours of preparing. Enjoy!

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.
