Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the fresh cooked corn kernels, seeded and diced Roma tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, fresh chopped cilantro, and minced jalapeño peppers. Mix them thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Add Dressings and Seasonings: Pour in the fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice, vegetable oil, and sprinkle the salt over the mixture. Toss everything together gently until well combined.
Let Flavors Meld: Let the salsa sit for at least 20 minutes at room temperature. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together and for the tomatoes to release their juices, enhancing the salsa’s taste and texture.
Serve or Refrigerate: Serve the fresh corn salsa immediately as a vibrant appetizer or side dish, or refrigerate for up to a few hours for chilled freshness. Before serving, stir once more and adjust seasoning if needed to your taste.

Notes

For milder salsa, remove seeds from jalapeños to reduce heat.
This salsa is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for a few hours.
Use fresh, ripe Roma tomatoes for optimal flavor and texture.
Adjust the salt according to your dietary preference.
