2. Place the canned sweetcorn kernels, flour, paprika, veg seasoning, coriander, garlic and eggs in a bowl and mix until well combined. Heat the vegetable oil over a medium to high heat and fry tablespoonfuls of the fritter mixture in batches. Season the popcorn with the rosemary and salt.

3. Combine the grilled baby corn with the braaied corn kernels and toss with the fritters. Top with the rosemary salt, popcorn and drizzle over the dressing. Scatter with the herbs.

Cook's note: The great thing about this salad is that it’s so adaptable. A real celebration of corn.
