Ingredients
- 2 cups sweet corn kernals fresh or frozen

- 1 jalapeno seeded and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
- 1 lime juiced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- If using fresh corn, cook the corn kernels in boiling water for 3-5 minutes until tender. If using frozen corn, thaw it according to the package instructions.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked corn, diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño or bell pepper, and fresh cilantro. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss everything together to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Let the corn salsa sit for at least 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. You can also refrigerate it for a couple of hours to enhance the taste. Give the salsa a final taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the corn salsa as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, salads, or as a dip with tortilla chips.
Notes
TO STORE: To store corn salsa, transfer it to an airtight container or a sealable jar and place it in the refrigerator. This will help keep the salsa fresh and maintain its flavors. Corn salsa can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. When you're ready to enjoy the leftover salsa, give it a quick stir to redistribute the flavors before serving.
