How to make corn salad
- Cook the corn:Ā If using corn on the cob, boil or grill the corn until cooked then slice the kernels off the cobs. If using frozen corn, saute the corn in a hot pan to allow the corn to caramelize slightly. Place the corn in a large mixing bowl and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Assemble: Chop the tomatoes, basil, red onion and jalapeƱos then add to the bowl with the corn. Dress with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss to combine then transfer to a serving bowl.
Can I make this in advance?
Yes, this salad is great made in advance. Only dress the salad and add the basil right before serving but you can make it up to a day in advance and keep it covered in the fridge.
