Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 small red onion
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 lime
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by husking the corn and cutting the kernels off the cobs until you have 2 cups of fresh corn kernels.
Step 2
Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and add it to a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the red bell pepper.
Step 4
Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño pepper for a milder salsa, and then finely chop it. Add it to the mixing bowl.
Step 5
Coarsely chop the fresh cilantro leaves and stir them into the bowl with the other vegetables.
Step 6
Juice the limes to extract about 4 tablespoons of lime juice, and pour it over the vegetable mixture.
Step 7
Season the salsa with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss all the ingredients together until well combined.
Step 8
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, you can add more lime juice if desired.
Step 9
Serve the salsa immediately or cover and refrigerate it for about an hour to blend the flavors more thoroughly.
