Tips:

  • Choose fresh, sweet corn for the best flavor. If you can, use corn that is picked the same day you plan to make the salad.
  • To remove the kernels from the cob, hold the cob vertically and use a sharp knife to slice downwards, close to the cob.
  • If you want a more flavorful salad, try roasting the corn kernels before adding them to the salad.
  • For a lighter salad, use a vinaigrette dressing instead of a mayonnaise-based dressing.
  • Add other vegetables to the salad for a more colorful and nutritious dish. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and onions.
  • If you are making the salad ahead of time, wait to add the dressing until just before serving. This will help prevent the salad from getting watery.
