Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Corn Radish SaladScrape the corn kernels from the ears of corn by using a sharp kitchen knife and a large cutting board.  Cut off the stem end to give a flat base.  Hold the ear, tip end up, then cut downward, removing a few rows at a time.

  2. In a large pot, partially filled with water, bring water to a rolling boil.  Add the corn kernels to the boiling water. Bring water back up to a boil; immediately remove from heat and drain corn in a colander in your sink.  Run cold water over the corn in the colander to stop the cooking process; drain the corn thoroughly.

  3. In a large bowl, gently combine corn kernels, red onions, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.  Adjust seasonings to taste.

  4. Refrigerate the salad until approximately 1/2 hour before serving.  Just before serving, toss in the fresh basil. Taste for seasonings and serve cold or at room temperature.

  5. Makes about 4 or 5 servings.
