Equipment

  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Sharp Knife
  • 1 Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

  • 3 Medium Ears of Corn, shucked
  • 1 Medium Red Bell Pepper, small dice See Note
  • ¼ Medium Red Onion, small dice See Note
  • ½ Medium Jalapeno, minced
  • Cup Cilantro, chopped
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
  • Pinch Salt and Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Using a knife, slice the corn kernels from the cobs. To do this with minimal mess, hold an ear of corn vertically, then starting at the middle of the cob slice down toward your cutting board.

Notes

This recipe makes 4 cups of corn salsa.
Try to chop the bell pepper and onion about the same size as the corn kernels. This will make the salsa easier to eat!
And chop the jalapeño as small as you can so there aren't any big spicy chunks.
