For a smoky flavor, grill the corn on the cob until lightly charred, then cut off the kernels. Adjust the amount of jalapeño to your preferred level of spiciness. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. Feel free to add other vegetables such as black beans, avocado, or cherry tomatoes. This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

A vibrant and zesty Mexican-inspired corn salad that straddles the line between salad and salsa, bursting with fresh flavors and a delightful crunch. The sweetness of the corn is perfectly balanced by the heat of the jalapeño and the coolness of the cilantro. It's an irresistible side dish or a flavorful topping for tacos and grilled meats.
