This salad is a great way to use up any leftover roasted corn. Simply slice the kernels off approximately 1 ear. If you don’t have leftover roasted corn you can use frozen corn kernels as follows:
Place frozen corn kernels on a foil-lined baking pan and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Use your hands to combine. Place baking pan under broiler and broil for 7 to 8 minutes or until corn is roasted. Check after 3 minutes to make sure corn is roasting evenly. Move around with a spoon if necessary to prevent burning.
