Ingredients

  • 12 oz corn kernels (frozen or fresh)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped jalapeño pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 TBSP chopped green onion (optional)
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 TBSP olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt, plus extra to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook corn via your favorite method! You'll want to snag a 12 ounce bag or grab two large ears of corn and remove the kernels with a knife. Steam/microwave if using frozen or sauté fresh kernels in a skillet until tender. Easy peasy!
  2. Allow corn to cool and combine with onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and green onion. Add lime juice and a tablespoon of your favorite healthy oil (we love using avocado oil here!) then season with salt.
  3. Toss it all together and chill until ready to eat! It's great right away and even fantastic the following day!
  4. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping or on top of all your favorite Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes. It's great on everything!

Recipe Notes

Not a fan of spice or heat? Skip the jalapeño and try it with a little sweet red bell pepper instead!
