Ingredients:

6 ears corn on the cob:you can also use frozen if your corn on the cob is out of season. This is a great summer recipe for using fresh produce!
Peppers:I use red bell, orange bell, jalapeno, and poblano peppers in this dish, they all grow so well in my garden and add lots of color and flavor to this dish
Tomatoes:I don’t add too many because I want the corn to be the star of the show but I like a few for color and flavor.
Onion:a classic flavor for salsa and adds a bright note to this dish
Cilantro:this brings in that traditional salsa flavor
Lime Juice: this add a nice tangy and acid to the dish, add as much as you like
Seasonings:salt, pepper, and garlic powder are my seasonings of choice for this simple dish. Don’t be stingy with the salt, it really helps the vegetables shine.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I cut the corn off of the cob?

The easiest way I have found is to lay the cob on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off lengthwise. Continue to rotate the cob until the majority of the corn is off the cob.

What do put corn salsa on?

Anything! It is great over chicken, in tacos, burritos, burgers or salads. And don’t forget it’s really good for dipping tortilla chips in. I had a little leftover the other day and I threw it in my ground beef enchilada filling !

Can I use frozen corn for corn salsa?

You can use raw sweet corn, frozen corn that has been defrosted and drained or if you want a smokier flavor then grill the corn first. Depends on the flavor and texture you are going for but you can use a variety of corn for this salsa.
