Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups frozen yellow corn, thawed and drained
  • ¼ cup red onion, finely minced
  • ½ small-medium jalapeño, finely minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1-2 tablespoons lime juice (½ – 1 medium lime)
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt, plus more to taste

- If you don't have frozen corn, you can use fresh or canned corn, but ensure it's drained well.
- This salsa stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
