  • Cooking Instructions
  • Preheat your grill, or heat a heavy skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. You’ll know it’s hot enough when you can hold your hand an inch or so above the surface and feel the heat.
  • Cut the kernels off the cob by holding the cob in one hand and using a knife to slice down the length of each row of kernels.
  • Spread the kernels in a single layer on a baking sheet or large plate and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  • Grill or cook the corn for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s slightly charred in spots and cooked through.
  • Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes before adding to your salad.
