Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen white corn (thawed)
- 1/4 cup cilantro (finely chopped)
- 1/4 cup red onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp fresh jalapeño (finely diced)
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Prepare the herb and pepper mixture: In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped cilantro, red onion, diced jalapeño, lime juice, and lemon juice. Stir well to create a flavorful mixture.
- Combine corn and seasoning: In a large bowl, add the thawed corn and salt. Pour the cilantro and jalapeño mixture over the corn. Mix all ingredients thoroughly so the flavors meld evenly.
- Chill to enhance flavors: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. This resting period allows the salsa to develop depth and blend the fresh flavors beautifully.
Notes
- For a smokier flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chipotle powder.
- Use fresh corn if available, blanching it briefly before cooling and using.
- Adjust the jalapeño quantity according to your spice preference.
- This salsa pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, tacos, or as a dip with tortilla chips.
