Tips:
- For an extra layer of flavor, char the corn on a grill until some kernels are slightly blackened.
- If fresh thyme is unavailable, you can use dried thyme, but reduce the quantity by half.
- To save time, you can prepare the dressing in advance and refrigerate it until ready to use.
- Consider adding other fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an additional burst of flavor.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes if available for an even fresher taste, but ensure they are well-drained if they have high water content.
