Ingredients

• 4 ears fresh corn, shucked
• 5 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 cup finely diced red onion
• 2.5 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2.5 tablespoons olive oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Remove kernels, cutting close to the cobs.

Step 3

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.
