Notes

Recipe Tips.

While fresh corn is so delicious, drained canned corn can also be used.
For added flavor, grill corn cobs before removing the kernels. If you do this, skip cooking the kernels in step 2.
When we don't have fresh herbs, we use dried herbs; 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs = 1 teaspoon of dried herbs.
The color of yellow corn looks amazing, but white corn can be used as well.

Prep ahead. Cook up the corn the day before, slice the veggies, and keep them in separate containers in the fridge. Toss everything and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes before serving.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
