Tips & Tricks

For the corn, you can use fresh or frozen corn kernels. Fresh always tastes best of course, but frozen kernels work just fine to save time. I suggest defrosting the corn and then letting it dry out well before mixing it in, so you don't get a soggy salad.

Feel free to use any type of olives that you prefer. I think these pimiento olives work really well, but something fancy like garlic-stuffed olives would also be a fun twist.

For more spice, add a second jalapeno pepper or swap it for a spicier red chili pepper instead.
