- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 Large Orange Bell Peppers, diced
- 2 Ear of Corn, kernals only
- 5 Green Onions, thinly sliced
- 1 Romaine Lettuce Heads, chopped
- 1/2 c. Cotija Cheese, crumbled

- Prep bell pepper. Place olive oil in sauce pan on medium/high heat.
- Add diced bell pepper to pan. Sauté for five minutes. While peppers cook, shave the kernels off corn cobs with a sharp knife. (The easiest way to do this is in a bowl) Slice green onions.
- Add corn kernels and onions to pan and sauté, stirring frequently for 4 more minutes. If corn starts popping turn down heat to medium.
- While veggies cook, place chopped romaine on a platter or in a bowl. Prep beans, tomatoes and cheese, set aside.
- When bell pepper and corn are soft and slightly browned remove from heat and allow to cool. Make dressing.
- Place all dressing ingredients into a blender and blend till smooth. Pour over romaine and toss. You may not need all the dressing.
- Pour cooled corn mixture, beans, tomatoes, pepitas and Citija cheese on top of salad. Enjoy!
