For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the corn before cutting the kernels off the cob. Feel free to experiment with different types of potatoes, such as red potatoes or fingerling potatoes. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the dressing. This salad is delicious served warm, at room temperature, or chilled. It's a versatile dish that can be enjoyed any time of year.
