1. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot; add ears of corn. Boil 5 minutes. Set ears aside and reserve cooking water. When corn is cool, slice off kernels.
2. Return corn water to a boil and add kale and salt. Cook until kale is tender and still bright green, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain and cool. Squeeze out excess liquid with your hands and finely chop.
3. Toss kale with remaining ingredients in a large bowl until well combined. Season with salt. Serves 4 to 6.
