Anything with plenty of corn kernels in it is my favorite. I love the sweetness of corn kernels. So I never miss a chance to sneak them in few of my beloved dishes:

Grilling Method: If you are in a grilling mood then use corn on the cob for this corn salsa recipe. Grill the whole corn on the cob, remove the charred corn kernels and use them to make the salsa. Ohh man, they taste super smokey and delicious in the salsa.

Boiling Method: If you are using raw corn kernels then boil them in salted water for 5 – 10 minutes. While boiling the corn kernels make sure to check them for doneness. The moment they are al-dente transfer to a colander or sieve. No need to cook them for a long time. The cooking time for raw kernels may differ depending on the variety of corn you are using.

Frozen/Tinned Corn: If you are planning to use frozen or tinned corn kernels for this salsa recipe then cook them in salted water for only 1 – 2 minutes. Then allow them to sit on a metal colander to cool down completely.

Vegetables: The best part of this salsa recipe is you can add any vegetables of your choice to make it more colorful and tasty. From finely chopped avocado, bell pepper, tomato (deseeded), to jalapeños, feel free to add vegetables of your liking in the salsa. Keep in mind that vegetables with a crunch are a great fit for this summer salsa.

What do you eat corn salsa with?

Serve corn salsa with chips or crackers. It can be layered on top of nachos (try my Indian style loaded nachos) or stuffed inside tacos and quesadillas. Salsa also makes a great side-dish for a meaty BBQ main-course.

How long with corn salsa last?

If stored in the fridge in an airtight container or mason jar, a salsa last for a week. At room temperature, it is best to consume any salsa within 2 – 3 hours, especially during the summer season.
