Notes
- No Corn Cobs? No Problem! Grilled corn can be replaced with frozen or canned corn. Thaw or drain the corn well and toss with olive oil. Place the corn on a rimmed baking sheet and broil on high (500°F) until the corn begins to brown. Cool completely.
- Store leftover corn salad in a covered container for up to 3-4 days. Stir before serving.
