Corn Salsa is a sweet, tangy, and refreshing dip made with sweet corn, tomatoes, cilantro, and lime. Perfect for pairing with chips, tacos, or grilled meats, this vibrant salsa is quick to prepare and full of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels (about 1–2 ears of corn)
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the corn: If using fresh corn, peel and remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw and drain it well.
  2. Combine the ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the corn, diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, and cilantro.
  3. Add seasoning: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the salsa, then stir in garlic powder, cumin (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Chill and serve: Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. If you have time, refrigerate it for 30 minutes for an even more intense flavor.
  5. Serve: Serve with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or alongside your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes.
