Cooking Tips
- Grilling Corn: To get a nice char without burning, keep turning the corn on the grill. Look for a balance of golden brown char and tender kernels.
- Dressing: Adjust the amount of water in the dressing to get your desired consistency. It should be pourable but not too thin.
- Herb Choices: Feel free to experiment with different herbs according to your preference or what you have on hand. Cilantro or parsley could also complement the flavors well.
