I just want to say that I am so STOKED for this. Our local, Vierra Farms, has the best sweet corn on the planet for like 12 ears for a buck or something so I will be making a metric ton of this salad over the weekend.

One of the great joys of summer is basically "as much corn as you can carry" for $1. I LOVE IT.

You asked about ideas for corn broth... here's one. Use the corn broth as the liquid for a summer risotto. It could be for a corn risotto or some other veggie, like peas.

A weird person here can’t stand cilantro…can I use parley instead or just leave it out?

Basil or mint would be nice. I don’t think you need a cup of either one, but maybe a quarter cup of either.

Basil would be my choice (an herb I don't love haha), but honestly would probably omit and just add in some fresh scallion/chive.

Use corn stock with Massa Organics rice. Delish!

I had a Weber Spirit 2 BBQ and loved it until I moved to a condo! Its a great gas BBQ and a friend is now loving it in it's new home. I now have a Weber electric BBQ and it's ok for a balcony.

Made this last night with corn and corn nuts that we bought from a farm in Elk Grove. Off the hook! Corn salad + corn nuts = new favorite.

Made it with your brown butter salmon, the PERFECT summer meal.

s there a discrepancy between the video and the recipe? In the video you shuck the corn before grilling but in the recipe text you grill with the husks on.

Made this last night (sheep's milk feta, toasted some pumpkin seeds) and it was astonishing, so much more than the sum of its already fabulous parts! I was skeptical about pepperoncini (aka the things delivered with my pizzas in California but I never ate). Now I'm a believer.

Wow! I made this with haloumi, and this was a big hit! I’m glad I added the corn nuts.

I’m planning on making this for a friends dinner tomorrow night, is there a point you’d do ahead and finish when it’s time for serving?

Has anyone had success using the oven? I'm guessing husk should be removed, I was reading online about 25-30 mins to roast.

If I make this in the oven what do I do with the scallions?? I’m so excited to try this. Also who are these friends that won’t just eat whatever your showing up with! Will totally eat your extras after filming! (We live in the neighborhood lol)

While I love cilantro my husband thinks it tastes like soap and calls it "devil's lettuce" What herby greens would you recommend to replace?
