Ingredients

2 tablespoons oil
4 cups corn, frozen or fresh
1/2 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons parsley or cilantro, finely chopped
3-4 dashes hot sauce, optional
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup cotija, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Start by preparing the corn. If you are using fresh corn on the cob, you can cook it as you wish. Boiling is an option, or if you prefer, you can grill it. Once cool enough to touch, cut the corn from the cob and set aside. Alternatively, you can use frozen corn. Add the frozen corn and oil to a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the corn until thoroughly heated through. Remove the corn from the heat and allow it to cool.
Once the corn has cooled, add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl and toss well to coat.
Serve immediately.
If you are preparing this salad ahead of time, mix everything together except the lime juice. Cover well and refrigerate until ready to serve. Add the lime juice, toss well, and serve.

Notes

One serving is equal to a half cup.
