Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
If the corn is super fresh, cut off the cob and add to a serving bowl. Otherwise to cook the corn: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and cook the corn for 4 minutes. Pull the corn out with tongs and allow to drain in a colander. Bring the water back up to a boil and add the edamame. Cook edamame for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Cut the corn off the cob. And place in a large serving bowl.
Add to the bowl the edamame, onion, tomatoes, cheese and jalapeno.

Mix vinegar, olive oil , salt and pepper in separate container.

You can make salad ahead of time but add dressing at room temperature otherwise it will solidify in fridge.

Add the olives and basil or parsley just before serving
