For the best flavor, use high-quality extra virgin olive oil and fresh lime juice. If using fresh corn, sauté the kernels in a little butter or olive oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until slightly tender and lightly browned. Let them cool slightly before adding to the salad. The jalapeño pepper adds a touch of heat. Adjust the amount to your preference, or omit it altogether for a milder salad. This salad can be made a day ahead of time. The flavors will deepen as it sits in the refrigerator. Consider adding a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese or a handful of toasted pine nuts for added texture and flavor.
