Daniel’s Corn Salad

This is my recipe for a really nice Fresh Corn Salad! Perfect for your Fourth Of July celebration! It’s simple to make and as always it’s another of my “Grandma Style” recipes.

You’ll need:

• 6 ears of corn
  
• 1/2 cup red onion diced
  
• 2 very ripe plum tomatoes diced or 1 cup quartered grape tomatoes
  
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
  
• 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  
• 1 tbs red wine vinegar
  
• 1 tbs fresh lemon juice
  
• 1 tsp salt
  
• 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

1. In a large pot, boil the corn for 3-5 minutes then chill the corn down in cold water
2. Once you can handle the corn, cut the kernels off the cobs and place in the bowl you are going to serve the salad in
3. Add the balance of the ingredients and mix everything together
4. Taste for salt n pepper
5. Now, I only use a little dressing as I do not want to overpower all the flavors of the fresh ingredients
6. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for a couple hours to chill and let all the flavors come together
7. After you remove it from the fridge you can taste for salt, pepper and dressing and if you prefer add some more
