I found some fresh corn at a vegetable stand the other day and decided to make a fresh appetizer of Roasted Corn Salsa for dinner. This salsa combines all of the best flavors of cilantro, lime, chipotle chili powder and fresh corn! Be warned though – this salsa is addictive!
To be honest, this is actually a great salsa for tailgates, parties, and get togethers where you need an appetizer to be good for a long time. It doesn’t necessarily need to be warmed up and can be eaten cold or room temp. It is also a great make-ahead dish if you need to prep something the day before.
Pro Tip: Grill your corn on the Stove! (really fires up the flavor on the roasted corn salsa!)
I don’t actually own a barbecue grill (I mean I’m single… what’s a girl to do!) which is why I grilled it on top of the stove. As the corn is roasted on the stove op, the kernels will start to pop (just like popcorn hehe). The kernels – if you don’t watch them – will go everywhere. But let me tell you – the taste is amazing.
