Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces baby corn
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Chop the baby corn into small, kernel-like pieces to mimic the look and texture of fresh corn. Set aside.
Dice the red bell pepper into small cubes, similar in size to the chopped baby corn.
Finely chop the jalapeño pepper, removing the seeds for less heat, or keeping them in if you prefer a spicier salsa.
Dice the red onion finely. Combine with the chopped baby corn, red bell pepper, and jalapeño in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Roughly chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the salsa mixture. Ensure all small seeds are removed.
Add the sea salt and black pepper, then drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the mixture.
Toss all the ingredients together gently until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preference.
Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or refrigerate for up to 24 hours to enhance the flavors. Enjoy your Keto Fresh Corn Salsa with grilled meats, over salads, or on top of low-carb tortillas.
