• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the corn kernels and blanch them for 2-3 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, drain and set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, lime juice, granulated sugar, ground cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper until the sugar dissolves.

Step 4

Add the cooled corn kernels to the vegetable mixture and drizzle the dressing over the top.

Step 5

Gently toss everything together to ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve the Fiesta Corn Relish chilled as a side dish, taco topper, or alongside grilled meats.
