Notes

Chef’s Note: The corn in the recipe can be raw or roasted, whichever you prefer! Roasting corn can be done by placing the ears of corn on the grill until they get a nice char or by adding the kernels to a heated pan on the stove and tossing them until they get a little brown and crispy. This salsa is best served cold and can be stored in the fridge for 4-5 days.
