Notes

1. Always choose sweet corn to prepare nay kind of salad dish. It has a unique sweet taste and also takes less time to get boil.

2. I have boiled the corn in the oven, it took 8 minutes. If you don’t want to then 1st peel the corn and then put it in a normal pressure cooker and cook it up to 3 whistle. You will get your soft and sweet corn kernels.

3. The most challenging part of a sweet corn is how to remove the corn kernels. It would be easy when your corn is cooked properly and you can easily remove kernels by a fork.

4. Chop tomato, onion and coriander as small as possible but cut the lettuce medium to little bigger then other veggies.

5. Don’t microwave the salad after mixing all the ingredients into it. Else veggies will release water and your salad will get soupy texture.

6. I have included chili flakes and green chili in my dish, but I have mentioned that both ingredients are optional. So if you want to skip spicy flavor in the Corn Salad, just avoid chili.

7. At the beginning I said that this recipe is totally inspired by Indian recipes. So I have included coriander leaves behalf of parsley. Both are kind of same but east or west coriander is the best for we Indians. 😎

8. You can see in my ingredients photo that I have not added tomato on the plate. It was just a mistake. And I have made it correct in my next photos.
