- 1/3 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
- 1/3 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, if desired

Instructions
- Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 12 (10 x 10 inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. In 1-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring frequently, until onion is tender. Stir in 1/3 cup cilantro and the bell pepper; cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in lime juice and garlic salt.
- Place frozen ear of corn in center of each sheet of foil. Drizzle butter mixture evenly over corn. Fold foil over corn so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again.
