Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn

    If using fresh corn, shuck the corn and remove the kernels from the cob using a sharp knife. If using frozen corn, thaw and drain it.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the red bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño pepper into small pieces. If desired, remove the seeds from the jalapeño for less heat.

  3. 3

    Chop the Cilantro

    Rinse the cilantro thoroughly and chop it finely.

Mixing

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, diced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 5

    Season the Salsa

    Add lime juice, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin to the bowl. Mix everything together gently until well combined.

Serving

  1. 6

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos.
