We love grilled corn on the cob, and it gives it the perfect smoky flavor for this salad.

Cutting 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.

 
This creamy dressing is made with mayo, chipotle pepper, and a little lime juice...SO GOOD!
