- Refrigerate the salad for at least an hour or up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, give the salad a quick toss and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
Tips
- For a little extra sweetness, add 1/4 cup of honey to the dressing mixture.
- This salad can also be served as a dip with tortilla chips.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the corn in a skillet over medium-high heat until it is charred.
