Fresh Corn Salsa

With the weather being as hot and crazy as it has been these past couple of weeks, I never feel like eating anything heavy. This is the perfect recipe to snack on during the day or as a great appetizer when people come over for dinner! I use fresh corn, but you can use canned if you like! The sweet corn with the lime and spicy jalapeno is a perfect combination! Eat it with tortilla chips, grilled pita bread or even on some salad for a great twist!

Ingredients
- 4 ear corns
- 2 medium tomatoes diced
- 1/3 cup jalapeno
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/3 cup finely diced red bell pepper
- 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
- 2 TBSP lime
- zest of one lime
- salt and pepper to taste

Directions
- After cleaning the corn and removing husks. Wrap each corn individually in foil and place on prepared grill for 20-30 minutes until corn is cooked. remove foil (corn will be hot) and using some tongs grill each side of the corn to get a charred flavor. Let corn cool
- After corn has cooled, use a large knife and slide it parallel to the corn to remove kernels. 
- Mix corn with other ingredients until everything is combined. Serve immediately or refrigerate until needed.
