PIONEER WOMAN MEXICAN STREET CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Remove the corn from the cob. I got about 4 cups of corn from 5 ears. You may also use canned corn or frozen corn. No need to thaw frozen corn.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat. Stir the corn around. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until the corn starts to char, that's why we're using high heat. If you are using frozen corn, you will need to cook it for a few minutes longer to get the right charred bits.
• Transfer the corn to a large bowl and let it cool for a few minutes.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the same bowl. Combine everything well. Adjust the lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
• Garnish with additional cheese and cilantro, if desired.

• For the corn: Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
