Fresh Corn Salsa

Colorful corn salsa has zip with lime, jalapeno, and cilantro
 seasoning.  Avocado may also be added to this delightful salad
which is delicious on the side or over meat, chicken, or fish.

Serves:  4                  Prep time:  10 minutes

3 radishes, diced
2 slices red onion, diced
1 ear of corn, cooked (preferably grilled)
1/2 sweet pepper, diced
1/4 jalapeno, diced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1 lime, squeezed
salt to taste
splash of oil, optional

Corn in season should be consumed as soon after harvesting as possible.  There is a high starch content in corn which begins to break down right after picking.


Shave the corn off the ear and mix with all other ingredients.  That's it!

Each serving offers about 55 calories, almost half your daily requirement for vitamin C, and about 1-1/2 g. fiber.
