How to Make Tomato Corn Salsa

  1. Blanch 1 cup of fresh corn kernels in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and retain vibrant color. Drain well.
  2. Finely dice 2 cups of ripe tomatoes, 1/2 cup of red onion, 1 jalapeño pepper (seeded and minced for less heat, or leave seeds in for extra spice), and 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the blanched corn, diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
  4. Add 1/4 cup lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gently stir to combine.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully develop.
  6. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or as a topping for baked potatoes.
