High school classmate Linda shares this recipe of hers in response to one I posted earlier…………see below if you missed it.
FRESH CORN SALAD
Ingredients:
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
In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn for 3 minutes until the starchiness is just gone. DO NOT overcook corn. Drain and immerse it in ice water to stop the cooking and set the color. When the corn is cool, cut the kernels off the cob cutting close to the cob. See tip below.
Toss the kernels in a large bowl with the red onion, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Just before serving, toss in the fresh basil. Do not add basil until ready to serve as basil will become wilted and mushy.
Taste for seasonings and serve cold or at room temperature.
Tip: Use a Bundt pan to cut the kernels off the cob. Place the pointed tip of the corn in the center point of the pan and run the knife down the cob. The corn falls into the Bundt pan.
Options:
Add grape tomatoes (halved) for color.
Corn salad is great spooned over chicken fillets as a relish.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
