Smoky Corn Salad

Heat a 12-inch cast iron or other heavy skillet on medium-high until hot. Add corn kernels and cook 3 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally.

Note: If you are grilling your dinner, place 4 ears husked corn on grill and cook until kernels are browned. Cool slightly and cut kernels from cobs. Proceed as directed below.

Transfer to large bowl and immediately stir in fresh lime juice and chile powder. Cool slightly, then stir in finely chopped red pepper, cilantro leaves, and salt.
