  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup red onion finely diced
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro finely chopped
  • ¼ cup jalapeño peppers finely diced
  • ¼ cup freshly-squeezed lime juice about 2 limes

Instructions

  • Add the corn and salt to a large mixing bowl and mix well.
    2 cups frozen sweet corn, ½ teaspoon salt

    ½ cup red onion, ½ cup fresh cilantro, ¼ cup jalapeño peppers, ¼ cup freshly-squeezed lime juice
  • Serve right away or marinate it in the fridge for 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop. Enjoy it with corn chips or served on burritos, taco salads, tostadas, or whatever else you prefer!

Notes

To make it less spicy, remove the pith and seeds from the jalapeño before using.
Storage: Store any leftover sweet corn salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
