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.

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.

yumm it is soo good you should try it.

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.
