Ingredients
  

For the Salsa
  • 2 cups white corn can use fresh, frozen, or canned corn
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt enhances flavors based on the seasoning of the corn
  • 0.25 cup red onion provides a sharp and sweet contrast; substitute with white onion for milder taste
  • 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped adds freshness and a herbaceous touch; optional for variations in flavor
  • 2 tablespoons jalapeno pepper, fresh and finely diced infuses heat; reduce quantity for less spice
  • 1 large roasted poblano pepper, peeled and finely chopped introduces a smoky flavor; roast for the best results
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh brightens flavor; substitute with more lime juice if preferred
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice, fresh provides tanginess; always opt for fresh juice for the best taste

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat and grill the corn for about 10 minutes until the kernels are charred. Remove from grill and let cool.
  2. Once cooled, carefully cut the kernels off the cob into a mixing bowl. If using frozen corn, cook according to package instructions and let cool.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and roasted poblano. Add lemon and lime juice and mix well.
  4. Combine the aromatic mixture with the corn, tossing gently with a spatula until well mixed.
  5. Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with salt or lime juice to preference.
  6. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
