Time 16m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ears fresh sweet corn (husks and silk removed (or about 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed)
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen shelled edamame
1 pint 10 ounces (or about 1 1/4 cup) cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 small red onion (diced)
5-6 medium basil leaves (chiffonaded)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of water over high heat. Bring to a boil. Carefully add the corn cobs. Boil for three minutes. Remove with tongs and set aside to cool a bit. Add the edamame. Cook for three minutes. Drain and let cool for a bit.
  • Cut the corn kernels off the cob (I set it on end and use a large, sharp chef's knife. Be careful!) Add them to the bowl along with the cooled edamame. Add the cherry tomatoes, onion, and basil.
  • Drizzle in the olive oil and vinegar. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Toss well. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Keeps well for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
