My family loves this recipe. I always use fresh corn and put it on the grill until I get some nice grill marks. Then I cut it off the cob and add it to the other ingredients. It's become a summer favorite.

Summer fresh and very delicious!

Yummy! And, you know something...the Bertolli dry tortellini (found in the dry pasta section at your grocery store) is really delicious, especially with the spinach in it. I like it better than the refrigerated cheese tortellini. I think the quality of pasta used in this dish makes the difference. Fresh corn is the best, and even sometimes just making it a day in advance and letting the flavors blend overnight make a difference.

I followed another reviewer's advice and sauteed (for about 5 minutes), fresh corn in olive oil with some minced fresh garlic. I cooled everything down before putting together. It did call for some extra salt and pepper, but is a really great dish.

This is my go-to pasta salad recipe - love it! The flavors blend together so nicely. I skip the garlic powder (I don't care for the "fake" flavor) as I think it is overwhelming, and just add a little salt. Yum!

We love this! It is delicious with fresh corn, but works very well with frozen corn too. The only change I made was to use a couple cloves of fresh garlic rather than the garlic powder. I probably put in more tomatoes too as I always go heavy on veggies! The fresh basil gives it such a deliicous flavor.

This was okay, but I expected more flavor from the list of ingredients. If I make it again I will add some more veggies or seasonings dressing to spice it up.

Big results for very little time and effort.

This is a recipe to be "played with". It was a very good basis and many other salads that can stem from it.

I cut back on the corn, added some other

veggies as well as garlic and more oil. Will make again!
