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.

3 tablespoons cider vinegar
3 tablespoons good olive oil

Best Ever Fresh Sweetcorn Salad image

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.

SWEET-CORN SALAD

Here's a recipe for sweet-corn salad designed to preserve the dignity of the solitary diner. The salad itself requires minimal cooking, which means the small amount of time you spend on it can all be attentive and quite personal. It amounts to simple cutting of kernels from the last of the season's corn cobs, and warming them in good olive oil with garlic, some scallions and a bit of chopped fresh vegetables, then finishing it all with chopped herbs. If corn season has ended, tender butter beans from a can, drained and rinsed, make a perfect substitute. Served with a wedge of good cheese and a thick cut of bread, the salad becomes part of a simple but complete meal, to be eaten in your own good company.

Steps:

Scrape the kernels from each cob by holding it vertically in a large bowl, fat end up, and cutting kernels off, into the bowl, with a sharp knife. Freeze the empty cobs for soup stock.
Heat a large, flat sauté pan. When it's warm, add a good amount of olive oil. Turn the heat down to medium-high, and add the garlic and onion.
Sprinkle them lightly with kosher salt. Stir periodically for a few minutes, until the onions and garlic have begun to become translucent, then add the tomatoes or cucumbers (or combination). Let sizzle for two minutes, then add the corn and a sprinkle of water.
Raise the heat, stir once or twice, taste for salt and adjust, then add a few drops of vinegar. Mix through. Turn off heat, add herbs, stir.
