How to Make Corn Salsa

This recipes calls for canned corn but you can definitely use fresh corn off the cob if you have it! You could also grill the corn on the cob and use that too—would give it a nice grilled taste!

CHOP. To make, chop the jalapeño, bell pepper, and onion and put it into a bowl with the corn kernels.

SEASON. Mix in the lime juice, olive oil, sugar, and salt. Toss everything gently to combine. Lastly, chop up the cilantro and  mix it in. Serve it chilled or at room temperature.

Change up the recipe by adding in any of these variations:
