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
Directions
Step 1
Shuck the corn and remove all silk threads. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cobs into a large bowl.
Step 2
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the corn kernels and cook for 2-3 minutes. Drain and let cool completely.
Step 3
While the corn is cooling, finely chop the red bell pepper and the red onion. Add them to the bowl with corn.
Step 4
Carefully remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño pepper. Finely dice the jalapeño and add it to the bowl.
Step 5
Finely chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Step 6
Roll the limes on the counter to help release the juices. Cut them in half and squeeze their juice over the salsa ingredients.
Step 7
Season the salsa with sea salt and black pepper. Stir all the ingredients until well combined.
Step 8
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.
