Just made this last night and wow! It is amazing hot and cold. Love it!

Great, easy side dish. Make it often for dinner.

Loved this!! I usually hate it when others review recipes that they have altered, but after seeing this on TV last weekend, I stopped at the local farm stand on my way home from work this week and bought all the fresh produce, only to realize at the end of cooking that my Greek yogurt had gone bad. Per another reviewer’s idea, I threw in some leftover feta cheese I had and let it melt with the dish in the hot skillet. I’ve eaten it for dinner 3 nights in a row!

This is good but not great. I like other corn salad recipes better like Jeff’s Mexican Street Corn Salad and Katie’s Corn and Basil Salad.

This was good, not great. Lots of good ingredients, but not a lot of flavor other than corn. Definitely add the cayenne (I added 1/8 tsp to the yogurt) and top with a salty cheese to resurrect it. I’m giving it 4 stars because it paired well with the spicy kielbasa sausage I served. I recommend serving with something flavorful.

This was ok if you have an abundance of corn to use up. I would not go out and buy corn specifically for this recipe. Just ok. I would also nix the cayenne pepper.

This really was delicious! Don’t skip the Greek Yogurt, because it adds a nice creaminess.
