Ranch Corn Salad

This can be made with canned or frozen corn, but it is not as good as when made with fresh, off-the-cob corn.  It is simple to make and sooo good!

Ranch Corn Salad
4 ears of corn, shucked and cleaned
2 large Roma tomatoes
1 small red bell pepper
5 green onions
1/2 cup ranch dip (I use Uncle Dan's packets mixed with mayo and sour cream)
          Fill a large pot with water and put it over high heat to boil.  When it reaches a rolling boil add the ears of corn and cook for 3 minutes.  Remove the corn and rinse it in cold water to stop the cooking process.  Using a sharp knife cut all of the kernels off of the cob.  Add the corn to a medium mixing bowl.  Dice the tomatoes and add them to the corn.  Remove the seeds from the red bell pepper, dice it and add to the bowl.  Slice the green onions and add them as well.  Spoon in the ranch and gently stir everything together.  Top with green onions and serve or refrigerate and let the flavors all blend together before serving.
