To the bowl with the tomatoes, add the fresh corn kernels, torn basil leaves, thinly sliced red onion, and raisins.

04

Step
1 mins

Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking.

05

Step
5 mins

Pour the creamy dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss to combine, ensuring everything is evenly coated. (5 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Serve immediately or chill for later. The flavors will meld beautifully as it sits.

For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the corn lightly before cutting the kernels from the cob. This will add a smoky char that complements the other ingredients.
If you don't have rice wine vinegar, white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar can be used as substitutes.
Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise and sour cream to achieve your desired level of creaminess.
For a vegan version, substitute the mayonnaise and sour cream with vegan alternatives.
This salad is best enjoyed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
