Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh corn kernels
• 2 whole, diced roma tomatoes
• 0.5 medium, finely chopped red onion
• 1 seeded and minced jalapeño pepper
• 0.25 cup, chopped cilantro leaves
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by cooking the corn: If using fresh corn, bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the corn and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Remove the corn and let it cool before cutting the kernels off the cob.

Step 2

If using canned or frozen corn, drain and rinse the canned corn, or thaw the frozen corn, and pat dry.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the corn kernels with the diced roma tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and minced jalapeño pepper.

Step 4

Add the chopped cilantro leaves to the bowl.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Pour the lime juice mixture over the corn and vegetable mixture.

Step 7

Gently toss everything together to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 8

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lime juice, or pepper as preferred.

Step 9

Let the salsa sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
