        Pine Nut Substitute: If pine nuts are unavailable, use almonds, walnuts, or cashews for a similar crunchy texture.
        \nVegetable Variations: Add diced carrots, celery, or zucchini for extra color and nutrition.
        \nSweetness Adjustment: Omit the sugar if using very fresh, sweet corn, or increase it slightly for a more pronounced sweet flavor.
        \nMake Ahead: The dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently in a pan or microwave.
