For an extra layer of flavor, grill the corn on the cob before cutting it off. This adds a smoky sweetness that complements the other ingredients beautifully. If you're sensitive to spice, start with half a jalapeño and taste before adding more. You can always add more heat, but you can't take it away! This salad is even better the next day after the flavors have had a chance to meld together. It's perfect for meal prepping or making ahead for a party.
