Time 10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 cups corn kernels, sweet white (from about 7 to 8 medium cobs)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 ounces cherry tomatoes or 10 ounces red pear tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup red onion, small-dice
1/4 cup fresh basil, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Prepare an ice water bath by filling a large bowl halfway with ice and water; set aside. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the corn kernels and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and place in the ice water bath until cool, about 4 minutes.
  • Combine the lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large, nonreactive bowl. While continuously whisking, add the oil in a steady stream until completely incorporated. Add the remaining ingredients and the cooled corn and toss until well coated. Serve.
