Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 2 ears corn, husked (Grilled or roasted for flavor)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cilantro, chopped (Fresh for best flavor)
  • 1 medium jalapeño, minced (Adjust for spice level)
  • 1 lime juiced (Freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (For drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (To taste)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Roast the Corn

    Preheat the grill and roast the corn until slightly charred, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.

    Use a grill basket for easy handling.
  2. Prepare Vegetables

    While the corn is roasting, chop the cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.

    Wear gloves while handling jalapeños to avoid irritation.
  3. Cut the Corn

    Once roasted, let the corn cool slightly and then cut the kernels off the cob.

    Hold the cob vertically in a bowl to catch the kernels.
  4. Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, chopped vegetables, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

    Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
  5. Serve

    Chill the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

    Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos.
