I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I usually omit it from this salad. It's still delicious without it.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. I usually roast the corn first, but you can also use fresh or frozen corn.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I usually make it the night before and then it's ready to go for lunch or dinner the next day.

I'm not a huge fan of corn, but I really enjoyed this salad. The dressing is delicious and the corn is actually pretty mild.
