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.

Tips:
- Fresh is Best: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, sweet corn. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
- Choose the Right Tomatoes: Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for a burst of flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have fewer seeds and less water.
- Add Some Crunch: Chopped celery and red onion add a nice crunch and freshness to the salad. You can also add other crunchy vegetables, such as bell pepper or cucumber.
- Don't Overdress the Salad: Corn salad is best when it's lightly dressed. A simple vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is all you need.
- Chill Before Serving: Corn salad is best served chilled. This will help to keep the flavors fresh and crisp.
Conclusion:
Corn salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that's perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet corn, juicy tomatoes, and crunchy vegetables, corn salad is a surefire crowd-pleaser.
