Corn Salad

A few weeks ago my sweet friend Emily gave me some corn from her parents' farm so I knew I had to do something delicious with it!  Well, lucky for me, my friend Paula was out of town (not that I WANT Paula to be out of town....just go with me here) and I was watering her plants for her and she grows basil!  She told me to help myself to some basil while she was gone so I did!  Corn and basil!  I have THE BEST friends!  This salad is so simple and really doesn't need much done to it for great flavor.  My husband grilled the corn for me and I shaved it off the cob but you could also boil it and it would be delicious too!  The key is fresh, not frozen in this recipe!  Enjoy!

1/2 c. fresh basil, chopped
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
3 T. apple cider vinegar
