Can I make this corn salad vegan?

Yes. Omit the gorgonzola for a vegan version. The corn, tomatoes, basil, balsamic, and red onion still make a bright, flavorful salad.

Can I use mozzarella instead of gorgonzola?

Yes. The recipe notes that mozzarella can be used instead. It will make the salad milder and less tangy than gorgonzola.

Either works. It is delicious warm right after tossing, but it also serves well chilled or at room temperature.

It is best fresh, but it keeps well in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. Toss gently before serving again.

Scraping too close can pull off harder bits from the cob. Cutting cleanly gives the salad a sweeter, fresher texture.
