1. Pull back the husks on the corn and remove the silk. Pull the husks back into place and soak the corn in a large bowl of water for 2 hours. Drain the corn on paper towels. Heat the grill to medium. Place the ears of corn on the grill and grill for about 20 minutes. Make sure you turn the corn occasionally. Let the corn cool to room temperature.

Chef's notes
We ate the grilled corn salad plain, but the next day Josh got out the leftover salad and ate it with tortilla chips. It is great both ways. This simple summer salad is fresh, colorful, and full of flavor. Grab some fresh sweet corn this weekend and make Grilled Corn Salad. It is the way to enjoy summer’s sweet corn.
