This is not your grocery store, 6-months-old packed jar of salsa! It’s made with all fresh ingredients. Nothing processed but everything flavorful. It’s great for a party starter, side dish, or with meals. Try it with grilled chicken or shrimp. Yum, yum, yum!

Ingredients:

• 1 can no-salt-added whole corn kernels, drained
• 4 hard medium tomatoes, chopped
• 2 tbsp red onion, chopped
• 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/4 c fresh cilantro, chopped
• Juice of 1/2 lime
• Dash of salt

If you can’t find no-salt-added corn, rinse a regular can well with water before you use it. Alternatively, you can use frozen. Combine corn, tomatoes, onions, and bell pepper in a large bowl. Sprinkle the cilantro, squeeze in lime juice, and season with salt (don’t overdo the salt!)

If you would like to use a food processor, start with the cilantro and chop well. Add the tomatoes, peppers, and onions, and use the pulse option to chop. Make sure you don’t over process the vegetables-they’re much better chunky. Remove from processor bowl and place in a serving bowl. Mix in the corn, lime juice, and some salt.

This is perfect for the nice spring and warm summer days. One of my friends says that summer makes her want to eat fresh and healthy. So my question for you is:

Does spring equal to fresh, light, fruit-y and vegetable-y to you?
