For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the corn before adding it to the salad. Feel free to add other vegetables like chopped avocado or jalapeño for added creaminess or spice. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute with fresh parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed before refrigerating. You may want to add a pinch more salt or a squeeze of lime juice.

Jun 25, 2025I was looking for a healthy and easy side dish, and this recipe was perfect. I especially appreciate the tip about letting it sit overnight – the flavors really do meld together beautifully. I added a little bit of jalapeño for a kick!

May 8, 2025I made a mistake and only let it sit for 2 hours before serving. Even then, it was delicious. I followed the advice and grilled the corn which enhanced the flavor.
