Fresh Sweet Corn Salsa

I told you I’d be back with more fresh sweet corn recipes this summer Please tell me you’re not over sweet corn yet, because we might have to have a serious discussion if that’s the case.

I’d prefer if we could discuss what you’re going to do with the ridiculously amazing amounts of fresh corn you have sitting on your counter, waiting to be shucked. Because that’s what my situation was when I decided that there was nothing better than a Fresh Sweet Corn Salsa.

Ever since I made Charred Corn Pizza, I’ve been grilling up sweet corn to intensify the flavor and add a summer-grilled feeling to everything corn. It adds a subtle warmness to the salsa, but never fear, if you don’t feel like grilling up the corn, or are super crammed for time, using fresh corn kernels will suffice.

Simply put, this salsa has the best summer staples:

• Fresh Corn (ha, did I have to state the obvious?!)
• Juicy tomatoes
• Jalapeno
• Red onion
• Garlic
• Lime
• Cilantro

I’d be hard pressed to say you won’t be able to find all the ingredients already in your fridge this summer – or that a quick trip to the Farmer’s Market won’t solve that problem.

Fresh Sweet Corn Salsa is such a perfect snack or quick appetizer, but are you looking to bulk it up? I love adding black beans, Firecracker Shrimp, avocado, or topping a mixed greens salad with the salsa!

So many options, the possibilities are endless this summer – simple, summer, and scrumptious!
