This Grilled Corn Salsa takes summer loving to a whole new level with fresh corn on the cob, the char of the grill and the heat of jalapeños.
I am all about summer grilling. Anything that can, will, go on the grill. And my favorite thing of all time is summer corn. I eat more corn in the summer than any other vegetable, and I’m sure I’m a farmer’s best friend. 🙂
Here’s an easy tip for this recipe: when you cut the kernels off the corn, use an angel food cake pan, insert the tip of the corn in the middle hole of the cake pan, then cut the kernels – all the kernels will fall nicely and neatly into the bottom of the cake pan! {Email me if you want to see a picture of how this works.}
And on the grill, corn couldn’t be easier. I shuck the corn and place it straight on the grill. No oil, no butter, nothing but the corn. What I love about this method is, the corn is in it’s truest form, and it cooks up fast in 10-12 minutes.
We both love the char marks that are so unique to grilling, that gives it that chewy texture that we love so much.
Summer snacking at it’s best. Pass the corn and the crispy tortilla chips, please! 🙂
I say heat up the grill, grill some summer corn, make this salsa, then play a mean game of Backyard Bean Bag {a.k.a. Cornhole}!
This recipe is so light and refreshing, you won’t feel weighted down by the heat of the summer!
Enjoy!
