Grilled Corn Salad

The first time I made this corn I wanted to hide in the closet with a spoon and eat the entire bowl. It's that good. A few hints to made the process easier: After the corn has cooled a bit cut off the bottom of the corn and hold it at the top (where all the silk is) and just shake until the corn falls out. It should come out clean without all the silky mess! When cutting the corn off the cob, turn a small dish upside down inside a large bowl. Sit the wide end of the corn on the inverted bowl and start cutting. If corn flies around it land inside the bowl! SOOOOO much easier. I know my hubby appreciates it because honestly I'm a huge mess in the kitchen, and he just goes right behind me and cleans it up. Trust me, I know how lucky I am! Now for the recipe. I hope you love it as much as I do! If you make it share the picture with  #thingsthatmakeyousayyum I can't wait to see how it turns out!
