Make this corn salsa recipe your own by adding your favorite topping. You can add simple ingredients to make this better! The best way to make it your own is by adding remaining ingredients that go well together flavor profile wise. Cherry tomatoes are a great addition (chopped up), add some smoked paprika for a smoky flavor, or like a little spice like cumin. And don’t forget about homemade tortilla chips, it’s the perfect way to enjoy this corn salsa!

Jalapeño Peppers

Use caution when cutting and seeding the spicy jalapenos. The oils of jalapeno peppers can burn the skin of your hands. It is often recommended to use gloves when working with them. For a helpful instructional video on how to cut jalapenos safely, you might want to check out this video:

Fresh Cilantro

Cilantro is one of those herbs that people seem to either love or hate. (Here’s why some people really hate cilantro!) The good thing about this recipe is that it is delicious even without it. You’ll notice in the pictures that there isn’t cilantro in it. That’s because you guessed it – It’s not a favorite in our house!

Feel free to vary this recipe with other veggies. Red bell pepper would add even more color and a red pepper is sweet. And some people like it with avocado as well. I like to add black beans sometimes to add a protein element. Some diced juicy tomatoes also goes well.

You can also make this with an ear of corn. Using a cutting board and a sharp knife, cut the raw sweet corn off the cob. The summer corn and other fresh vegetables bring tons of fresh flavors to your table!

Also, if you char the corn, it’ll give you a nice charred flavor. But don’t worry it won’t be bitter because the sweetness of the corn will cut through it.

Eat The Best Corn Salsa By Itself Or Use It In A Recipe

This is great by itself or you could use it in place of pico de gallo like in burrito bowls or any Mexican food. Use it as a chip and salsa side dish with tacos. This fresh corn salsa recipe will also go well with dishes like veggie burgers!

How To Store This Delicious Corn Salsa

If you have leftovers you’ll want to store them in an air tight container. Or a small bowl that is covered with plastic wrap, a lid, or tin foil. However, it’ll last longer in an airtight container. We want the fresh sweet corn to stay fresh. It is still the best corn salsa, even the next day.
