For a smoky flavor, try grilling the corn directly on the grates without foil for the entire cooking time, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
Add some diced red onion or bell pepper for extra crunch and flavor.
If you don't have a grill, you can roast the corn in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will meld together even more over time.
