Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
