This recipe is great when you want to serve salsa, but you’re looking for something a bit heartier and more unique. It’s also a great addition to for many other summer favorite recipes!
If you’d like to make this recipe into a salad, simply spoon a bunch of it over some romaine lettuce and drizzle with your favorite dressing (our Jalapeño Ranch dressing is delicious). Add some chicken, steak, or shrimp, and – voila! An easy, healthy dinner.
You can also use this recipe as a topping for tacos or grilled protein. You can mix in a can of drained black beans for extra protein, or even add some fresh diced peaches to the mix.
All to say, this is a basic recipe that is good on its own or used as a base to create something even more fabulous. I love these types of recipes, as it means I can make double the amount and reinvent it each day with leftovers.
I love serving this corn salsa with blue corn tortilla chips for the contrast in color. I’m always passing along my favorite Simple Truth Organic finds from Kroger — their corn chips (blue or regular) are my favorite.
