4. In a grill pan over high heat, grill the pineapple slices till the char marks are well defined (~ 2 minutes on each side). remove, cut each slice into 8 wedges & set aside to cool
5. Remove the husks from the corn & grill over the stove top till the surface just begins to char. Using a kitchen knife, shave the kernels from the cob and add to a large bowl.
6. Stack the mint leaves over each other and finely shred into a chiffonade
7. Add the cucumbers, and the pomegranate arils (if you chose to add them) to the corn & toss to combine. Add the pineapple & the potatoes to the mix. Drizzle with the dressing as per taste & Garnish with the fresh mint leaves (or cilantro). Serve on the lettuce leaves.
