Notes

I used two ears of fresh corn. I husked them and placed them on a hot grill, turning often, until they were roasted. I let them cool then cut off the kernels. If you wish to use canned (drained well) or frozen (thawed) corn kernels. If you like your corn roasted, spread them out onto a baking sheet and place under the oven broiler. Keep an eye on them and remove as soon as they start to show a little char.
Stir the slaw before serving.
