Easy Corn Salsa in a bowl with chips

Easy Corn Salsa is a delicious and healthy condiment that goes well on tacos, burritos, and is so good on tortilla chips! If you want a non-tomato based salsa recipe that is easy and tasty, this corn salsa recipe is the one.

A Different Kind of Salsa Recipe

Maybe you never thought to make salsa using corn instead of tomatoes.

Using corn is nice because you have one less thing to chop (though if you use fresh corn you do need to strip the kernels from the ears).

It is really fresh tasting and makes such a wonderful condiment.

Which Corn is Best for This Salsa?

• You can use yellow or white corn, or even bi-colored.

• You can use frozen or fresh corn for this salsa recipe. You will need about 4 ears of fresh corn to get the 3 cups of kernels needed.

• When fresh corn isn’t in season, I make my corn salsa recipe with frozen corn kernels. I get the kind that are meant for steaming in the bag, that type seems less wet. When it thaws there is hardly any water.

Additional Add-Ins

My favorite add-in is diced avocado. The rich creaminess adds a lot to this corn salsa. You don’t have to use it.

You can also add Black Beans, or diced Red Bell Pepper. With beans added you could make this a meal with some rice!

Our family loves to sit with a bowl of this yummy Salsa, and a bowl of tortilla chips. Then we snack and have a great time enjoying the fresh taste, and each other’s company!

I would be happy to just eat this with a spoon! I’m tempted.

Notes

*If you are using fresh corn, I highly recommend grilling it first (it's fine if you can't). Then strip the kernels to make the salsa with. You will need about 4 ears of corn, roughly 3 cups. Thaw & drain frozen corn.
**This recipe doubles or triples easily.
