I’ll admit I love corn salsa, the first time I tried it was at Chipotle in my burrito bowl. It was love at first bite! This salsa is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. You can eat it on any Mexican dish its bright flavor never disappoints. Made with only six ingredients the dish comes together easily and stores great in the refrigerator.
It is officially sweet corn season, nothing is better than seasonal produce. Seasonal produce always tastes better and is usually on sale, it’s a win-win. I got 3 husks today and after I put all the groceries away I started on this delicious salsa. My favorite way to eat it is on tacos, salads and burrito bowls, of course, it goes great with tortilla chips too.
Corn Salsa Tips
Use fresh corn: Corn is best when used right away, it is the sweetest and most crisp.
Can’t find fresh corn: No problem. the recipe is easily adaptable. Go ahead and use frozen corn, just defrost it first! If you love grilled corn, Grill your corn first!
How to cut corn: Use a sharp knife and carefully slice along the length of the ear between the cob and kernels. Don’t cut to close to the cob or you will have ruff bits. Repeat this for all sections of the cob.
Love fresh salsa also try some Fresh Mango Salsa and Pico de Gallo.
This salsa goes great with Mexican Orange Chipotle Chicken and Authentic Carne Asada.
