A quick, easy and tasty corn salad with sriracha and lime!

ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
3 cups corn (about 4 ears), cut from the cob
1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon sriracha chili sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
1/4 cup cotija (or queso fresco or feta), crumbled

directions

Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, add the corn, toss and let it sit cooking until charred, mix it up and let it char again, about 6-10 minutes.
Add the red bell pepper, saute for a minute and remove from heat.
Mix everything and serve warm or at room temperature.

Option: Grill the corn on the cob before slicing it off for the salad instead of charring it in the skillet!
Option: Add cooked and crumbled bacon!
