For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the corn before cutting the kernels off the cob. Add a squeeze of lime juice to brighten the flavors. Consider adding chopped red onion, bell pepper, or jalapeño for added texture and spice. This recipe is also delicious with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
