Cool Fresh Corn Relish

I've made this twice and both times, we loved it. It holds over well in the fridge and goes well in lunchboxes.

I had a hard time removing the corn from the hot cobs the first time I made it, which I had boiled. The second time, I removed the corn from the cob first, and microwaved it instead. Much easier.

This one is again from Eating Well Summer 2006 issue. So many good things in this issue! I feel like a commercial.
