Notes
Use fresh corn when possible - Fresh, in-season corn will give the sweetest flavor. Especially during the summer months.
Don't rush the roast - Make sure to let the corn sit long enough in the pan to develop the charred edges.
Add some honey - If you would like to add some sweetness to the salad, drizzle in a bit of honey to balance the savory flavors.
Corn removal - Stand the cob upright on a cutting board and carefully slice downward to remove the kernels. Make sure to use a sharp knife.
Taste and adjust before serving - Always give the salad a final taste and feel free to adjust before serving.
This salad is best served fresh to enjoy the crispness of the salad. You can also serve it cold after a brief time in the refrigerator.If you plan to prepare this summer salad ahead, don't add the dressing and fresh parsley until just before serving.
