Fresh Corn Salad
By Amy Maltzan, adapted from Ina Garten
Makes 4-6 servings
5 ears of corn, shucked
1 small red onion, diced (about ½ cup)
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup fresh basil, thinly sliced
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add a few generous pinches of salt. Have ready a large bowl of ice water (to stop the corn from cooking when it’s done). Add the corn to the pot and cook for 3 minutes, then transfer to the bowl of ice water. When cool, cut the kernels off the cob into a large bowl.
Stir the red onion, vinegar, oil, salt and pepper into the corn kernels. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Gently stir in basil right before serving.
