Meatless Monday: Sweet Corn "Succotash"

Divas, here's a great little dish I made for a potluck dinner at a friend's house. It's a Sweet Corn "Succotash" made with corn, red bell peppers, red onion, and finished with fresh cilantro. I wanted to create a dish that made the most of the amazing corn available at the farmers markets and grocery stores right now. While a traditional succotash has lima beans or shell beans, I wanted to make a lighter dish that really showcased the corn, but feel free to add beans if you desire.
