Ingredients
- 5 ears fresh corn OR 3 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 1/3 cup red onion minced
- 2 tablespoons Jalapeño seeds and ribs removed, then minced
- 1 red bell pepper cored, seeded and finely diced
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- salt to taste
Instructions
- If using fresh corn, shuck the corn. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Place the corn on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until corn is tender and charred. Use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob.
- If you're using frozen corn, skip the grilling step.
- Place the corn, red onion, jalapeno, red bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice and salt in a large bowl.
- Stir gently to combine.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day before serving.
Notes
- My favorite way to prepare this salsa is with fresh grilled corn. That being said, I've also made it with steamed fresh corn and thawed from frozen corn kernels with great results. So if you don't have access to a grill or fresh corn, just use a bag of frozen corn and you'll be just fine.
- I remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeno which makes this a mild salsa. If you prefer a spicier dip, leave some of the seeds and ribs in the jalapeno.
