Balsamic vinegar made it too sweet..
This is a delicious way to use not so fresh corn. I have made it several times and everyone loves it! A great summer, or any time of the year, salad.
What a beautiful salad. As I always cook corn in the microwave and had to scale this one way back (only serving two), that's what I did. And I confess, no mint (and since it's pouring rain, not going out for it) so subbed mint from the garden. Worked well.
