Corn Salsa, a delicious and colorful side dish, bright, cheery and flavorful.
Ingredients
Scale
3 ears of corn, or 2 cups of frozen corn
3 green onions – chopped
1/3 cup red bell pepper – chopped
1 poblano or jalapeño pepper – finely chopped, approximately 2 tbsp (seeds and veins removed to reduce heat)
1/3 cup cilantro
Juice of 1/2 a Lime
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook corn in a large pot of salted water for approximately 3- 5 minutes.
- Remove corn from water and dunk it into an *ice bath, this ensures that the corn stays plump and bright yellow and that it’s cool enough to handle.
- Cut the kernels off the stock and add to a medium bowl.
- If you’re using frozen corn, add 2 cups of froze corn to a liquid measuring cup, fill with hot water and let it set for a minute, drain in a strainer. Dunk the kernels into an *ice bath, then set out on some paper towels to dry.
- In a medium sized bowl, add chopped poblano or jalapeño pepper, green onion, red pepper, lime juice, fresh cilantro and salt.
- Stir, and serve.
Notes
*Ice bath: bowl of cold water and ice, to dunk vegetables to stop the cooking and to keep their color and crispness.
