Fresh Sweet Corn Salad

We love fresh summer corn when it's in season, but frozen corn makes a great year-round substitute in this quick and easy side dish.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium ears fresh corn, husked, or 10 oz. frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cup thin strips orange bell pepper
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil for garnish

Directions

  1. Cut corn kernels from cobs to get 2 cups.
  2. Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the corn, bell pepper, and onion. Cook, stirring, until the bell pepper and onion are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Serve the salad warm or chilled. (Before chilling, drain the vegetables.) Sprinkle with basil before serving, if desired.
