Corn salsa is a vibrant, flavorful topping or side dish rooted in Mexican-inspired cuisine. It's typically made with fresh corn kernels, diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño peppers, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Variations may include black beans, avocado, or bell peppers for added texture and flavor. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, corn salsa offers nutritional benefits like fiber from the corn and tomatoes, vitamin C from the lime juice, and plant-based protein if beans are added. Naturally low in fat and calories, it's a heart-healthy choice when prepared without added sugars or excessive salt. However, pairing it with calorie-dense chips or creamy dips may affect its healthiness. Enjoyed as a dip, topping for tacos, or a side with grilled meats, corn salsa is a versatile, nutrient-rich addition to your meal.
