Bright Summer Corn Salsa

9 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 Fresh corn on the cob, unhusked - top silk and excess leaves cut off
  • 1 handful Sweet grape tomatoes
  • 1 Small shallot
  • 1/2 Small jalapeno - leaving some of the ribs depending on your desired level of heat
  • 1-2 sprigs Cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon Good quality extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Cotija cheese or crumbled feta

Directions

  1. 1
    Pre heat oven to 325 degrees
  2. 2
    Dice grape tomatoes, so they are slightly larger than a kernel of corn and set aside. I like to divide mine in halves or thirds, if possible.
  3. 3
    When oven is ready place corn in the husk on the middle rack and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until you can really smell the corn
  4. 4
    When ready, remove corn and place on a cooling rack, until cool enough to handle. Approx. 10 minutes.Once cool, remove silk and husk, cutting them off at the bottom.
  5. 5
    Now here's a fun trick to get the kernels off the cob, without the kernels flying everywhere: Arrange an ear of corn vertically so that the thicker end sits over the hole of a Bundt pan. If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a large bowl and set a smaller bowl turned upside down inside the larger bowl. Using a small, sharp knife, slice the corn off the cob, turning the ear as you go!
  6. 6
    Add diced tomatoes, chopped shallot, jalapeno and cilantro to the bowl and mix well.
  7. 7
    Add lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, mixing well to your taste.
  8. 8
    Garnish with cotija cheese or crumbled feta.
