½ cup sour cream
⅓ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, cut into very thin strips
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons cider vinegar

Steps:

Fill a bowl with ice water. Stir sugar into a large pot filled with water; bring to a boil. Add corn; cook until kernels are softened, about 2 minutes. Drain and transfer corn to ice water until cooled; drain. Cut kernels from the cob with a sharp knife.
