This grilled corn salad from Comfy Cuisine is perfect for summer eating.  Ears of corn are lathered in olive oil and set to cook on the grill.  The kernels take on a smoky flavor that compliments the sweetness of the red bell pepper and tomatoes.  This summer salad is delicious on it's own but also works on a bed of greens or even as a chunky salsa for tacos.
