Ingredients
To keep things quick and easy, I love that the base of this corn salsa uses a bag of frozen corn. You simply mix in a few fresh ingredients and give it a stir:
- Frozen Corn
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Green Onions
- Jalapeño
- Minced Garlic
- Fresh Cilantro
- Lime
How to Make the Salsa
Start by thawing the frozen corn. If you stir everything together while it is still frozen, it will cause the salsa to be extra-runny when it thaws.
Chop the cherry tomatoes, I sliced them in a mix of halves and quarters to make the salsa extra pretty.
Gather all your prepped veggies in a large mixing bowl and stir it together.
Make Ahead Tips
The corn salsa will keep very well in the fridge for 2 - 3 days. The vegetables will release their juices as the mixture sits, so just give it a good stir before serving.
Do not try to freeze the salsa, the fresh cherry tomatoes will not retain a nice texture once frozen.
Serving Suggestions
Unlike traditional salsas that are very smooth and saucy, this chunky corn salsa is perfect for several easy menu ideas:
- Topping a Sandwich: Add it to a chicken sandwich, burger, or pulled pork sandwich.
- Rolling in a Wrap: Roll it up with deli meat in a tortilla for an easy sandwich.
- Topping a Salad: Chop up your favorite greens and use this as the quickest salad topper with some chopped chicken tenderloins. It would be excellent on my easy taco salad bowl, too.
- Top a Taco: This is my favorite topping for pork tenderloin tacos or my baked chicken tacos. It would be tasty on top of my air fryer chimichangas, too.
- Stir into Eggs: You could serve this on top of scrambled eggs or mix it right in to my easy egg bowls.
- Serve as a Snack: Serve the salsa with a big bowl of salty tortilla chips for dunking.
- Serve on the Side: You could add this to your table as a delicious veggie side dish for a barbecue plate or taco night.
