Notes

  • For extra spice, add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Use fresh corn instead of canned for a sweeter, fresher taste if in season.
  • This salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a creamier texture, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt when serving.
  • Great as a topping on baked potatoes or mixed into rice bowls for extra flavor.
