Corn and
Tomato Salsa


Possibly you had never thought to consider that the corn and the tomato could be mixed in a salsa. Well in this recipe you will taste a new combination of ingredients.

Basically what we have in this preparation is the corn’s sweet flavor that complements perfectly well with the acidic and fresh flavor of the tomato . And to give it more flavor other ingredients typical of Mexican salsas are used and as final touch it is seasoned with some spices.



– This salsa is also a little spicy because 1 jalapeno pepper is used in its preparation but is not as spicy to not overshadow the corn’s flavor.

When you have a dish with chicken served on the table... that is the moment in which the salsa has to be used. It can also be used to bath some steamed vegetables or even to give a very different flavor to a pasta dish.
