- 1 cup corn kernels from about one ear, or frozen (see note)
- 1 mango finely chopped
- 1 green onion thinly sliced
- 1 jalapeño minced
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- Juice of 1 to 2 limes
- ¼ teaspoon salt plus more to taste
Grill the corn on the cob and then slice off the kernels, or char the cup of corn kernels over high heat in a single layer in a cast iron skillet just until they start to pop like popcorn.
1 cup corn kernels
Dice the mango to match the size of the corn kernels, then combine the mango, green onion slices, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro in a small bowl.
1 mango, 1 green onion, 1 jalapeño, ¼ cup chopped cilantro
Add the lime juice and salt, starting with the juice of one full lime and a ¼ teaspoon of salt, taste and add more as desired.
Juice of 1 to 2 limes, ¼ teaspoon salt
This recipe will make about two cups of mango corn salsa.
If you are using frozen corn kernels, defrost them, then pat them dry before roasting.
This corn and mango salsa is best served soon after it is made, but it will keep in the refrigerator for up to one day. Do not freeze.
