Ingredients

Instructions

  4. Pour the lime dressing over the corn mixture.

  6. Gently toss all the ingredients until everything is well coated.
  7. Taste the salsa and add more lime juice or salt if needed.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of jalapeño based on your preferred spice level.
  • This salsa tastes best when made fresh.
