Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ears fresh corn
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 small jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 whole lime
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Shuck the corn and remove all silk threads. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cobs into a large bowl.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the corn kernels and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain and let cool completely.
While the corn is cooling, finely chop the red bell pepper and the red onion. Add them to the bowl with corn.
Carefully remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño pepper. Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.
Finely chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Roll the limes on the counter to help release the juices. Cut them in half and squeeze their juice over the salsa ingredients.
Season the salsa with sea salt and black pepper. Stir all the ingredients until well combined.
Taste and adjust lime juice, salt, and pepper as needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 24 hours to let the flavors meld together.
