In his series Marcus' Kitchen, chef Marcus Samuelsson shares dozens of recipes that prove "American" cuisine is really a delicious melting pot that draws upon flavors from all over the world.

In this video, Marcus tells KitchenDaily viewers that he loves corn -- and if you don't share his passion, this salad will give you reason to. When cooked in a cast iron skillet (or any pan you have in your cabinet) with roasted red peppers, olives, red and green onions, basil, and just enough butter, the corn takes on all the flavors of this lively salad's ingredients. Marcus cooks it up in just 10 minutes. His quick preparation tip? Use jarred roasted peppers if you don't have the time to roast a whole red bell pepper yourself.
