Corn Salsa

A super fresh salsa made with ears of crisp charred corn, sweet bell pepper, vibrant red onion, herby cilantro, and a zesty spiced lime dressing. It's makes a perfect chip dip or a topping to pair with a main protein.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 medium ears corn fresh
  • 1 medium bell pepper orange
  • 2 medium Roma tomato 9 oz), diced small
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/3 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 jalapeno pepper seeds and ribs removed for less heat if desired, minced
  • 1 tsp minced garlic (1 clove)
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp hot sauce such as Valentina, or to taste, Mexican
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tsp lime zest
  • 2 Tbsp lime juice fresh
  • salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat to about 450 degrees.
  2. Grill corn and orange bell pepper until charred on all over, about 3 minutes per 3 sides. Alternately you can do this over a gas stovetop set over a medium flame but be careful as corn does pop (stand back).
  3. Let cool then cut kernels from corn cobs, then core and seed the bell pepper and dice.
  4. Add corn and bell pepper to a large bowl along with tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, chili powder, hot sauce, olive oil, lime zest, lime juice and toss. Season with salt and pepper to taste, toss.
  5. Store in the fridge up to 3 days. Serve as a dip with tortilla chips or over a protein such as fish, chicken, or beef.

Notes

  • Optionally you can omit one cob of corn and add a can of drained and rinsed black beans in it's place.
  • Or add 1 diced avocado in place of 1 corn.
  • For a cheesy flavor try with 3/4 cup crumbled cotija cheese, adding just before serving.
