Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Remove kernels, cutting close to the cobs.
  • 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.
