Why you’ll love this roasted corn salsa
The texture of this salsa is so fun, each bite gives a little extra crunch from the corn kernels paired with little bites crisp red onions.
This is a great recipe for the end of summer, when corn is in abundance. This salsa offers a refreshing sweetness that works so well when the weather is hot. Plus, unless you want to grill fresh corn for a little extra flavor, you do not have to cook anything!

- Frozen corn
- Red onion – After slicing the red onions you can rinse them under cool water if you would like to make them slightly more mild.
- Cilantro
- Poblano peppers – I love the flavor added by roasting poblano peppers for recipe like this, which is what I used for this recipe. You can also use store bought diced green chilis if you want to make the recipe even easier.

Everything you need to know about corn salsa
If you are using frozen corn like we did, you will not have to cook the corn. Most frozen corn is blanched prior to freezing and will only need to be thawed.
If you are planning on using fresh corn it would be advisable remove corn from the cobb, then steam, blanch or even grill the corn before using for this salsa recipe.
