Ingredients
- 6ears of corn or 1 16-ounce package frozen corn (thawed and drained)
- 1green or red bell pepper (chopped)
- 1bunch green onions (sliced)
- 2tomatoes (seeded and chopped)
- ½cup sour cream
- ⅓cup mayonnaise
- ¼cup fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 2tablespoons garlic vinegar
- ¼cup grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1
First, husk the corn and remove the silk. In a large pot of boiling sugared water, cook corn for 1-2 minutes. Really, this short amount of time is perfect as you just want to heat the kernels. Place the corn in a bowl of ice water and let stand 3-4 minutes.Step 2
Cut the corn off the cob using a sharp knife. I like to stand the cobs on end in the center of a bundt pan. The kernels will fall into the pan and make less of a mess.Step 3
Combine the corn kernels in a large bowl with the green pepper, onions, and tomatoes.Step 4
In a small bowl combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, basil, garlic vinegar, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper and then stir to combine.Step 5
Pour this dressing over the corn mixture and toss gently to coat. Chill for 1-2 hours before serving.
