PinHow To Cook Sweet Corn
Grilling Method: If you are in a grilling mood, use corn on the cob for this corn salsa recipe. Grill the whole corn on the cob, remove the charred corn kernels and use them to make the salsa.
Ohh, man, they taste super smokey and delicious in the salsa.
Boiling Method: You can boil corn kernels in salted water for 5 – 10 minutes. The moment they are al-dente, transfer to a colander or sieve. Allow corn to cool completely before using it in salsa.
Frozen/Tinned Corn: If you plan to use frozen or tinned corn kernels no need to cook them. Rinse nicely with water to remove starch and preserve juices. Then allow them to sit on a metal colander for 5 – 10 to drain the water completely.
Vegetables: The best part of this salsa recipe is you can add any vegetables of your choice to make it more colorful and tasty.
From finely chopped avocado, bell pepper, and tomato (deseeded) to jalapeños, feel free to add vegetables of your liking to the salsa.
Keep in mind that vegetables with a crunch are a great fit for this summer salsa.
