    Can I Use Frozen Corn in Salsa?

    I’m all for simplifying, but in this case, you HAVE to use fresh corn! Nothing else will give you this sweet, crunchy, out-of-this-world Fresh Corn Salsa. The sweetness of the corn paired with salty tortilla chips? Ohmygosh, so good.

      Took Laney’s advice and made some substitutions with what I already had on hand and it still turned out amazing! I used cilantro instead of mint and English cucumber instead of avocado. Otherwise everything else was per the recipe. Super tasty! Love the fresh corn. Such a fun and delicious summer salsa!

      This recipe was a HUGE hit in my house!! It is so easy to make and to modify to make it work for every member of our family…including the smallest and pickiest! We left out the mint and had it with chicken quesadillas so my daughter sprinkled a little Mexican cheese on top and it was perfect! It is so refreshing and also great for a bbq or entertaining. This is a new staple in our house…approved by adults AND kids! Thank you for this delicious recipe! We love it!

      I made this salsa tonight and used it to top off some ground beef for taco bowls. It was dee-lish-ous! It was so easy to make and super easy to prep and put together while the ground beef was cooking. The combination of the sweet corn with the mint and lime juice really compliment each other and create a fresh taste, perfect for summer!
