Tomato Corn Salsa

This recipe comes from Sara Moulton’s cookbook Sara Moulton Cooks at Home.  It’s actually the topping for a turkey burger recipes, but I loved the salsa so much on it’s own that I usually just make the salsa.  Serve with chips.  You don’t have to strain the cherry tomatoes- my mom doesn’t and objects when I do whenever I make it for her.

Ingredients:

12 cherry tomatoes, finely chopped

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 c. corn kernels (cooked fresh, thawed frozen, or, my preference, raw kernels)

1 T. lime juice

1 garlic clove, minced

1 T. chopped fresh cilantro (still good if you don’t have any)

2 tsp. olive oil

Additional salt and pepper to taste.

Directions:

Toss tomatoes with salt and drain in a colander for 15 minutes.

Combine tomatoes, corn, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and olive oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss well and enjoy!
