Best Corn Salsa Recipe
Corn Salsa with smoky chipotle and lime is an easy homemade dip with tortilla chips, a deliciously summery veggie side dish, or a flavor-packed topper for chicken or fish!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh, raw corn (usually around 6-8 ears of corn)
- 1 cup red onion chopped
- ½ cup fresh cilantro or parsley finely chopped
- ¼ cup fresh chives chopped
- 1 juicy lime
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Remove the corn kernels from the cobs by running a knife down the cobs, from the widest part of the cob to the skinniest. See the video for step-by-step instructions!
- In a medium bowl with the corn, add red onion, chive, and parsley or cilantro.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together lime juice, vinegar, chipotle powder, olive oil, and salt to taste.
- Pour vinaigrette over corn mixture and toss to combine. Serve right away or let the flavors marinate for 30 minutes to an hour if time allows.

Notes
- Check your produce section for corn that is pre-shucked! It will save time removing the husk and silk!
- You can also grill or sauté your corn. If you’re using frozen corn, I recommend sautéing it in a pan with a dash of olive oil until hot. Let corn cool before making the salsa!
- Corn salsa keeps well for about 4 days, covered, in the fridge.
