Best Ever Fresh Sweetcorn Salad Recipes

GARDEN-FRESH CORN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large serving bowl, combine the corn, tomato, green onion, cucumber, herbs (don't skimp on the herbs!), radishes, and jalapeño.
• In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and several twists of black pepper. Whisk until blended, then pour it over the salad. Toss to combine.
• Add most of the feta or avocado (reserve some for garnish), and gently toss. Taste, and add more vinegar for more tang (I usually add another full tablespoon), or salt for more overall flavor. Garnish with the remaining feta or avocado.
• Serve promptly, or chill for later. This salad keeps well for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator, covered.

FRESH SWEET CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Cut corn kernels from cobs to get 2 cups.
• Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the corn, bell pepper, and onion. Cook, stirring, until the bell pepper and onion are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve the salad warm or chilled. (Before chilling, drain the vegetables.) Sprinkle with basil before serving, if desired.

FRESH CORN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn for 3 minutes until the starchiness is just gone. Drain and immerse it in ice water to stop the cooking and to set the color. When the corn is cool, cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob.
• Toss the kernels in a large bowl with the red onions, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Just before serving, toss in the fresh basil. Taste for seasonings and serve cold or at room temperature.

BEST EVER FRESH SWEETCORN SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil.
• Break each ear of corn in half so it will fit in the pot, and cook until tender and the starchiness is just gone. Drain and immediately immerse the ears of corn in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and to set the color. When the corn is cool, cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob.
• Toss the kernels in a large bowl with the red onions, roasted red peppers, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Just before serving, toss in the fresh basil. If you add the basil too early and let the salad sit for a long period of time before serving, it will wilt and darken.
• Taste for seasonings and serve cold or at room temperature.
