Corn Salsa

Ingredients

  • 3 cups raw corn kernels (from about 4 cobs of shucked sweet corn)
  • 1 cup finely chopped red onion (about ½ medium onion)
  • 1 diced ripe avocado (optional)
  • ½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (about 1 bunch)
  • 1 to 2 medium jalapeños, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup lime juice (about 2 limes), to taste
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon fine salt

Steps

  1. In a medium serving bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Stir to combine.
  2. Adjust to taste: for more zing, add about 1 teaspoon more vinegar or 1 tablespoon more lime juice. For more flavor, add another pinch of salt. For more spice, add more jalapeño.
  3. For best flavor, let the salsa marinate for 20 minutes before serving. Keeps refrigerated, covered, for 3 to 4 days.
