- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 2 cups frozen corn, thawed and patted dry

- 1/4 cup sliced green onions, green only (about 3)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. When hot, add corn and cook, stirring infrequently until corn toasts and browns slightly on all sides.

Upon reading other user reviews, I prepared this salad with the following changes: use 4 ears of fresh corn cut from the cob -- crispier end result and toasts better; use both tablespoons of oil up front to toast corn kernels; use red onion in place of red pepper, and slice thinly into ~1" pieces; high quality roasted salsa is key to an excellent salad -- I used a "smoky" roasted salsa from Mrs. Renfro's; upon toasting the corn, allow to cool slightly, then toss everything together.
EVERYONE loved it! Also, IMO, these quantities would be appropriate for 2 servings, not 4.
Thank you, Sandra, for the guideline!

I don't usually like corn but this recipe is delicous! I used canola oil instead of vegetable oil and I used Paul Newmans mild salsa. I used a frozen corn mix of yellow and white corn. It is so simple to make. I will probably make this for my next pot luck.

It was easy to make, great taste and will be making it again and again. Finding roasted tomatoe salsa was my problem. WalMart and Publix didn't have it, but Winn Dixie has it.
