Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 small red onion
- 1 medium jalapeño
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill or oven (broiler setting) to high heat.
Husk the corn and lightly brush each ear with olive oil.
Place the ears of corn on the grill or under the broiler, turning occasionally, until the kernels develop a slight char (approximately 8-10 minutes). Set aside to cool.
While the corn cools, dice the cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, and red onion into small pieces. Finely chop the jalapeño (removing seeds for less heat, if desired) and the fresh cilantro.
Once the corn has cooled, carefully cut the kernels off each cob using a sharp knife.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted corn kernels, diced cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
Add the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more lime juice or salt, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately as a topping, side dish, or dip. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
