Ingredients
4 ears white sweet corn, shucked
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar
1 clove garlic, grated
5 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked through to remove bits of shell
A handful of Sun Gold tomatoes or other cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Aleppo pepper
A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn into large pieces

Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the corn for 2 minutes. Cut the kernels off the cob with a sharp knife. In a large serving bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, vinegar and garlic and mix well, then whisk in the olive oil. Fold in the corn, crabmeat, tomatoes, cucumber, pickled shallots and avocado and carefully mix together.
