Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears)
- 1 cup Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup Green bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium Jalapeño, minced
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the corn kernels and blanch them for 2-3 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white vinegar, lime juice, granulated sugar, ground cumin, kosher salt, and black pepper until the sugar dissolves.
Add the cooled corn kernels to the vegetable mixture and drizzle the dressing over the top.
Gently toss everything together to ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the Fiesta Corn Relish chilled as a side dish, taco topper, or alongside grilled meats.
