This was a great recipe!!! Wonderful flavors and really easy to make. I made some changes, it's probably not "authentic" anymore but it worked! I use plain Greek yogurt instead of mayo - no reason other than we simply don't eat mayo :-) The second time I made this, I had to bring a side dish to a potluck. I grilled the corn, then cut the kernels off & added to a bowl. Mixed in the rest of the ingredients. So people scooped it out w/ a spoon onto their plates instead of eating corn on the cob. I have to say it worked pretty good!! I make it both ways now, and regularly. A really really good side dish!!!
