Introduction

The Basic recipe is our favorite summer picnic or BBQ dish when fresh white corn is plentiful, but I have the alternate ingredients in my pantry year round. It can be served either as a salsa with tortilla chips or as a side dish.

See variations below.

    2. Grill corn and cut from cobb as soon as your able to handle without burning your hands. Combine half of recipe above with 2 cups hot steamed brown rice and 1 small avocado, diced. Stir well so avocado will turn warm and creamy. Serve warm over shredded lettuce for a wondeful but unique main course summer salad.

    3. Omit tomato, reduce onion & cumin by 1/2 and add 1 cup of diced fresh mango or pineapple. Use as a topping for grilled fish or chicken breasts seasoned with cumin and paprika.

    Very Good
    It's refreshing and delicious. Just the right amount of spice too. I made it for the first time last week, then I had to make it again the next week because it was so tasty. - 9/20/11
