📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add the salad dressing ingredients to a bowl and whisk to combine or to a jar and shake. The dressing tastes best chilled before serving so place it in the freezer if serving soon or the fridge if you have a little time.
2
Time permitting, char the corn on your grill or in a cast iron skillet per directions in notes, otherwise, add directly to the salad.
