Ingredients
- 5 ears fresh corn shucked
- 2 medium roma tomatoes diced
- 1 medium English cucumber diced
- 1 medium avocado diced
- 1/2 medium red onion minced
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves chopped
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Shuck 5 ears fresh corn and remove silk. Add ears of corn to boiling water and boil 5 minutes. Use tongs to remove from the water and pat dry. Use a sharp knife to cut the kernels from the cob and place into a large mixing or serving bowl.
- Dice 2 medium roma tomatoes , 1 medium English cucumber, and 1 medium avocado. Mince 1/2 medium red onion and add all to the corn along with 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine. Taste and add additional salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Fresh corn can also be eaten raw, no boiling required. This works particularly well with super sweet white corn. Simply shuck and slice the corn directly off the cob.
