The beauty of this dish is that you can make it any time of year with frozen corn. Don't be shy about browning the corn. Personally I like adding a bit of chopped sweet onion at the end along with some kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Why mention ingredients that aren’t listed?
I add a simple dressing of honey, evoo, and apple cider vinegar, and have been known to add fresh basil and chopped avocado if one is hanging around. Always a big hit.
My momma (and I'm an old Southern lady) made this with long thin slices of roast pepper and plenty of black pepper.
Delicious! Used 5 slices of applewood smoked bacon. Added a seeded, chopped jalapeño and seasoned as I went along. Also added the tomatoes: quartered cherry tomatoes. Served with pan fried boneless pork chops (not our healthiest meal this week) and enjoyed every mouthful.
