- Fresh corn can be substituted with frozen corn that has been thawed if fresh is unavailable.
- Honey Vinaigrette can be homemade by mixing honey, vinegar, olive oil, and a pinch of salt if desired.
- This salad is best served fresh to enjoy the crispness of the produce.
- For a vegan version, omit the feta or use a plant-based cheese alternative.
