Southwestern Grilled Corn Salad

1. 1

   1. Finely dice onion: First cut the onion in half, then cut little slivers that do not quite reach the back of the half of the onion. Next turn the onion and repeat the slivering process until you reach where you have not cut. Run your knife through this section a few times to try to match the dice of the rest of the onion. Reserve.
