Before adding to the salad, the corn and mushrooms are grilled for a few minutes in the oven to bring out their flavor. Grill the corn directly on the cob, then trim off the kernels. Before serving, these ingredients are tossed with cherry tomatoes, radishes, jalapeños, and plenty of cilantro in a sesame seed vinaigrette. The nutty flavor of the sesame seeds pairs perfectly with the mushrooms and other vegetables, infusing the dish with a rich, complex flavor.
