You don't need a grill to make this grilled corn salad. If you have a gas stovetop or a grill pan you can grill the corn on it just as easily. My favorite way to grill the corn, in fact, is directly over the stovetop because it's the quickest, although the popping corn does make a small mess that you will need to clean up later. That's how I prepped the corn this time because it was raining outside and I just didn't feel like getting the grill fired up.
