Grilled Corn Salsa Recipe
Report
This grilled corn salsa combines smoky, charred corn kernels with diced jalapeño, green onions, tomato, and cilantro, brightened by lime juice and seasoned with salt and pepper. Served with tortilla chips, it provides a fresh, mildly spicy, crisp-tender salsa with a smoky depth from grilling, perfect for snacking or as a topping.
Description
The recipe starts by grilling ears of corn over high heat until nicely toasted and cooked through. Once cooled, the kernels are cut from the cobs and any residual husk bits removed. The fresh vegetables—jalapeño, green onions, tomato, and cilantro—are finely chopped and combined with the corn.
The mixture is seasoned with freshly squeezed lime juice, salt, and black pepper to enhance the natural sweetness of the corn and the freshness of the herbs and vegetables. The salsa is served alongside tortilla chips, offering a versatile snack or side dish with a smoky, tangy flavor profile.

Ingredients
- 3 ears white corn or Yellow Corn
- 1 jalapeño diced finely
- 2 green onions chopped
- 1 medium tomato diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 1 lime juiced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- tortilla chips
Instructions
- Preheat indoor or outdoor grill to high heat. Shuck corn. Place on the hot grill until nice and toasty, turning as needed. Remove corn and let cool.
- While corn is cooling, you can chop the remaining veggies and place into a large bowl. Once the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the corn off the cob. Once kernels are removed, run the back of your knife down the husk to remove the bottom parts of the corn.
- Stir corn into the bowl with other ingredients and season with salt and pepper. Serve with corn chips.
