Hold the cooked cobs firmly in one hand and place, base down, on a chopping board.
Carefully run the blade of a sharp knife down the side of each cob to remove the kernels, keeping the rows intact.
Arrange the micro greens on a platter. Layer with slices of pear, baby corn and sweet-corn rows.
Add a good squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil, and season.
Serve scattered with popcorn clusters.
