    A group of cornWe love grilled corn on the cob, and it gives it the perfect smoky flavor for this salad.

    Grilled corn being cut off the cobCutting corn off the cob can be a pain. It's hard to keep the cob standing upright and not to mention the kernels going all over the place after cutting them. I always use a bundt pan that holds the cob perfectly and then catches all the kernels that come off.
