  • Author: Skyar
  • Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen corn (thawed if frozen)
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
  • 1 poblano pepper, roasted, peeled, and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder (optional for extra spice)

Instructions

Step 1: Roast the Poblano Pepper

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place the poblano pepper on a baking sheet and roast for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is blistered.
  • Remove from the oven, place in a bowl, and cover with a plate for 10 minutes.
  • Peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and finely chop the pepper.

Step 2: Prepare the Corn

  • If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob using a sharp knife.
  • If using frozen corn, make sure it’s fully thawed and drained.
  • Optionally, char the corn in a skillet over medium heat for a smoky flavor.

Step 3: Chop the Ingredients

  • Dice the red onion and finely chop the jalapeño pepper.
  • Mince the garlic and roughly chop the cilantro.

Step 4: Mix the Salsa

  • In a large bowl, combine the corn, roasted poblano, red onion, jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro.
  • Add the lime juice, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and chili powder.

Step 5: Let the Flavors Meld

  • Stir well to mix all ingredients.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
