For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the corn kernels before adding them to the salad. If you don't have sweet onion, red onion can be used, but soak it in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow its bite. Feel free to add other fresh herbs like basil or chives for a more complex aromatic profile. To make it a heartier meal, add grilled chicken or shrimp.
