Notes
Preparation Tips - I highly recommend using a very sharp knife to remove the corn from the cob. You don't want to be sawing the corn, it should easily slice of the cob.
Alternate Methods - to make this similar to Mexican street corn salad, you can either roast the corn on a rimmed baking sheet or grill it on medium-high heat before adding it to the salad.
Storage - leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for up to four days in an airtight container.
