Fresh Corn Salsa

Instructions

  1. 1

    If using fresh corn on the cob, cut kernels off the cob using a sharp knife. For frozen corn, thaw completely and pat dry.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels, diced tomatoes, red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, and salt.

  4. 4

    Pour the lime dressing over the corn mixture and toss thoroughly to combine.

  5. 5

    Season with black pepper to taste and adjust salt if needed.

  6. 6

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.

  7. 7

    Before serving, give the salsa a quick stir and taste for seasoning adjustments.

Chef's Note

"This vibrant corn salsa celebrates summer's sweetest flavors and takes just minutes to prepare. I love serving it with grilled fish or chicken, but it's equally delicious with tortilla chips for a fresh, crowd-pleasing appetizer."
