Ingredients

  • 10 ounces frozen corn kernels thawed, about 1 ¾ cups
  • 1 Jalapeño finely diced
  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • pinch black pepper
  • salt to taste

    Cup of Yum

  2. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Canned Corn: If using canned corn, drain it well.
  • Fresh Corn: Fresh corn on the cob can be used in this recipe. Cook the corn just until the kernels turn bright yellow, and cool before using.
  • Variation: You can grill the corn for a smoky flavor. Brush the corn with olive oil and grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly charred. Cool completely.
  • For a spicier salsa, include all the seeds from the jalapeno pepper. For a milder flavor, discard the seeds. 
  • Store salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
