For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the corn before cutting the kernels off the cob. This will add a smoky sweetness to the salad. If you don't have fresh basil on hand, you can substitute with 1 tablespoon of dried basil, but the fresh basil really elevates the flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount of dressing to your liking. Some people prefer a lighter dressing, while others like it more creamy. This salad is a great make-ahead dish, perfect for potlucks, barbecues, or a light lunch.
