- If you can't find fresh corn, canned corn (drained and rinsed) or frozen corn (thawed) would work just as well in this recipe.
- For an added crunch, you can include some chopped nuts like almonds or pecans.
- You can also add a protein like grilled chicken or tofu to make this salad a complete meal.
