Fresh Corn Salsa

Corn Salsa is a favorite summer appetizer recipe. This sweet and spicy easy recipe is made with fresh grilled corn and loads of tasty fresh ingredients.

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups raw corn kernels (from about 4 cobs of shucked sweet corn)
• 1 cup finely chopped red onion (about ½ medium onion)
• Optional: 1 diced ripe avocado
• ½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (about 1 bunch)
• 1 to 2 medium jalapeños, finely chopped (use 1 for mild-to-medium salsa or 2 for more-spicy salsa)
• ¼ cup lime juice (about 2 limes), to taste
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• ¼ teaspoon chili powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Roast corn on a grill (frozen corn can be substituted) but the grilled corn adds a great grill flavor
2. In a medium serving bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Stir to combine.
3. Adjust to taste, if necessary: For more zing, add about 1 teaspoon more vinegar or 1 tablespoon more lime juice. For more flavor overall, add another pinch of salt. For more spice, add more jalapeño.
4. For best flavor, allow the salsa to marinate for 20 minutes before serving. This salsa keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for 3 to 4 days.
