Mexican Street Corn Salad

I really like this salad paired with the Honey Lime Enchiladas recipe.  I got this recipe from Six Sisters' Stuff and halved it for our family. 1/2 bag of frozen corn (8 oz needed) 1 T oil  1 1/2 T mayonnaise 1.5-2 oz Cotija cheese, crumbled (I used feta since I couldn't find this) 1 T lime juice 1/2 T jalapeno peppers, finely chopped (substitute canned if needed) 1/6 C fresh cilantro, finely chopped 1 T red onion, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1/4 t chili powder Salt and Pepper to taste 1.  Heat oil over medium heat.  Add frozen corn and let cook until corn starts to char, stirring occasionally (about 7-8 minutes) 2. While the corn in cooking, mix together mayonnaise, cheese, lime juice, cilantro, red onion, garlic, and chili powder in a large bowl.  When corn is done, gently fold it in with other ingredients.  Salt and pepper to taste. 3. Serve immediately and store any leftovers in the refrigerator.  Serving suggestions:...
