Ingredients
- 1 12 oz bag corn kernels frozen

- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup red onion diced

- 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Instructions
- Fill a small saucepan half full of water and bring to a boil over high heat. While you’re waiting for the water to boil, fill a medium-sized mixing bowl about half full of ice water then set it aside. When the water reaches a boil, add the corn and allow it to cook 1 minute.
- Drain the corn then immediately put the kernels into the bowl of ice water for 1 minute. Drain the corn well then place into a large mixing bowl.

Notes
Blanching veggies is a quick and easy way to bring out their vibrant color, as well as softening the vegetables just a bit. Just make sure you have a bowl ready with ice water to shock your blanched corn!
