Notes
- I like to use fresh corn, but you can also use thawed frozen corn or drained canned corn to make this simple recipe.
- I've found that it's best to allow the salsa a little time to chill before you serve it so that the flavors mix well together. So, give it at least 30 minutes before serving.
