NOTES:  If you are traveling with this salad or making ahead; you can prep the salad and the dressing and wait to pour dressing over salad until ready to serve.  Refrigerate until ready to serve. Also, You can cook the corn if you prefer, but the acid in the lemon juice will mellow out the starchiness of the corn and create a fabulous flavor.
