Get your taste buds ready! This summer salad has so much flavor and comes together really easily, I bet you’ll be making it all season long. As I was making it I couldn’t stop tasting it, I think I ate half of it before it ever made it to the table! HA!
I chose to grill the corn because I like the little bits of charred kernels, I think it really adds to the flavor of the dish. But boiling the corn is completely fine too, the salad will be just a tasty!
