Notes

The beauty of this salad is that it is easy to mix together desired amounts of ingredients and then add the amount of honey dressing that you would like right before serving.
I have prepared it without fresh, blanched and cut off the cob corn. It just adds more of a great summer taste with it added. Your choice!
I am more a fan of fresh basil with this salad; but, it is also great with fresh mint.
Enjoy!
