For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the corn before adding it to the salad. This imparts a smoky sweetness that complements the other ingredients beautifully. If you don't have orange marmalade, you can substitute it with orange zest and a touch more honey to achieve a similar citrusy sweetness. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, avocado, or jalapeño for added texture and spice. This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just be sure to toss it again before serving.
