Fresh Corn Salad

You can substitute frozen corn for the fresh corn if you like. Don't cook it - just thaw and drain well before using in the salad.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 2 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 6 ears of corn OR 16 oz. pkg. frozen corn, thawed and drained
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 bunch green onions, sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. garlic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Husk corn and remove silk. In a large pot of boiling SUGARED water, cook corn for 1-2 minutes. Really, this short amount of time is perfect - you just want to heat the kernels.

Cut the corn off the cob using a sharp knife. Combine in a large bowl with green pepper, onions, and tomatoes.

In a small bowl combine sour cream, mayonnaise, basil, garlic vinegar, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Pour over corn mixture and toss gently to coat. Chill for 1-2 hours before serving. 6 servings
