Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 2 medium lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by prepping your vegetables: remove the husks from the fresh corn and slice the kernels off the cobs. You should have approximately 2 cups. Place these in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the red and yellow bell peppers into small, uniform pieces. Add these to the bowl with the corn.
Finely chop half of a medium red onion and add it to the mixture.
For the jalapeño pepper, slice it in half lengthwise and remove the seeds if you prefer a milder salsa. Dice finely and add to the bowl.
Chop the cilantro leaves until you have roughly half a cup. Stir them into the vegetable mix.
Juice the limes directly over the bowl, ensuring you collect all the fresh juice for optimal flavor.
Sprinkle in the salt and ground black pepper, then toss everything together thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Allow the salsa to sit for at least 10 minutes, giving the flavors a chance to meld before serving.
Serve your sugar-free fresh corn salsa as a dip with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes. Enjoy!
