By MCFM Nutrition Interns
Ingredients
- 2 cucumbers, diced and peeled (if desired)
- 6 medium tomatoes, diced
- 2 cobs sweet corn, kernels removed
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 or 2 small jalapeños, depending on spice preference
- 2 juiced limes (about ½ cup of juice)
- 1 tablespoon vinegar (optional)*
- Salt and pepper to taste*
Instructions
Dice the tomato, cucumber, and onion then mince the jalapeño and garlic. Add ingredients to a large bowl. Remove kernels of the corn on the cob with a knife and add to the mixture. Add the chopped cilantro, vinegar, and salt and pepper to the bowl and mix well. Eat immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Nutrition Tips
-For a milder salsa remove seeds from jalapeño before adding to the mixture. For a medium salsa, add a few seeds. For a spicier salsa, keep all seeds or add another jalapeño.
-Both tomato and garlic contain immune-boosting phytochemicals and anti-inflammatory compounds.
