In a large non-stick skillet ‘dry sauté’ the corn kernels on medium high till charred, 8-9 minutes. Add a spoonful of water at a time to prevent sticking if needed. Cool and add all ingredients. Best if made a bit in advance so that flavors marry. Serve with greens. Also good served with chips as a dip.
