Jalapeño Corn Salsa

 A fresh, juicy bite of corn with some zesty lime & heat from pickled jalapeños. This Jalapeño Corn Salsa is a great addition to any taco bar, burrito bowl, enchilada, or chip & dip connoisseur's tool box.

I am a huge chip & dip girl. I love all the salsas, dips, sauces, chutneys, and fancy spreads. I think the term for that is now called, "Girl Dinner." and, I'm okay with that. Yep, I am perfectly okay to eat chips and salsa for an entire meal. That's my ideal "girl dinner." Luckily, my husband is pretty content to eat that with me, too. He loves chips and salsa, and he loves this corn salsa.

I threw together these Stuffed Poblano Pepper Chicken Enchiladas, and I knew they'd need something to brighten them up. So, I mixed together this salsa, and it brought the perfect balance. The enchiladas were delicious on their own, but this corn salsa completed it. Now, I can't make those enchiladas without also making this salsa. They just go together.

How to Store Jalapeño Corn Salsa

Thankfully, this salsa only tastes better the longer it sits. I love to make it the day before I need it to allow for all of the juices and flavors to meld, but if you're in a rush - the day of will do.

Store this salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Honestly, the longer it sits the more flavor it has. It's magical. This salsa is best when served cold, but you can cater to your preferences.
