Notes
- While I highly recommend using white corn as it's naturally sweeter, you can use yellow corn instead, if it's more available and/or cheaper with equally delicious results.
- Make sure you are using frozen corn and not canned corn. Let the corn defrost prior to using it and drain away the extra moisture so the salsa isn't watery.
- You could use fresh corn if you prefer. Just cook the corn according to your preferred method. Let it cool and cut the kernels away from the cobs. If you use fresh corn, you'll need 4 ears.
