Fresh Corn Salad
This Fresh Corn Salad is a must-make is you have access to some sweet, fresh corn.
If you are looking for a really easy summer salad to make- maybe something different from green salad that you’d like to serve with your dinner, this Fresh Corn Salad is the one to make! The recipe originally appeared in Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa Cookbook. I love that she took such simple ingredients and put them together to make such a great salad. That’s a great cookbook, by the way. I use it often to make so many delicious recipes in the book.
Ingredients needed:
- 3 corn on the cob
- red onion
- fresh basil
- olive oil
- cider vinegar
- salt and pepper
How to make Fresh Corn Salad:
Cook your corn cobs in salted boiling water for about 3 minutes. Cool off the corn cobs in an ice water bath, and then cut the corn from the cobs. The corn is combined with chopped red onion and fresh basil strips in a serving bowl.
How to cut Basil:
Stack all of the fresh basil leaves you need on top of each other. Roll them up tightly. Use a sharp knife to slice the roll of basil leaves into thin slices. Your strips of basil will all be uniform in size if you do it this way.
Then the corn, onion and basil are tossed together with a simple vinaigrette made of olive oil, cider vinegar, salt and pepper. That’s it! It’s such an easy summer salad recipe to make.
Make ahead instructions:
Fresh Corn Salad is a great make-ahead salad recipe! Simply combine the corn, red onion and vinaigrette. Add the fresh basil leaves right before serving. Keep it covered and refrigerated. You can make it several hours ahead.
