This is a perfect side dish, salad, salsa or whatever you want it to be. I love making this for a weekend event knowing they’ll be leftovers to eat for lunch. My favourite thing is to eat it with tortilla chips but you can eat it own it’s own as a salad or pair it with your favourite grilled protein.
CORN
The corn can be canned and drained or cooked corn. I grow my own corn and love grilling it for this recipe. The caramelized char just adds to the flavour but canned corn works just as well.
SPICE
want the bite to be spicer? Add a minced jalapeño to the mix. This will blend in and give it an extra flavour profile.
This recipe will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator. I would not recommend freezing it or cooking it. It’s best served cold.
