"So fresh and delicious! My guests loved it," home cook Indy-Girl says of this top-rated salad that makes an excellent side dish for grilled pork. "To save time I cut the corn off the cob while cold and put it on a flat grill pan with a little olive oil and placed it on a medium heat grill (without the boiling process) and the corn browned up nicely in the pan in about 12 minutes (season with salt). I cooled the corn and added the rest of fresh ingredients."
