With last weekend's SuperBowl Game, I prepared some healthier tailgate type food for those who like to eat during half time. We had ribs, to be sure, but we also had this corn salsa along with a green salad.
Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups roasted corn kernels (1 lb bag of frozen roasted corn)
1 cup chopped red pepper
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup minced parsley
1 Tbs minced jalapeno pepper (optional)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
3 Tbs lemon juice
1 Tbs olive oil
Directions:
The frozen corn can be either used either thawed or frozen, depending on when you'll be serving the salsa. If it needs to be thawed quickly, microwave the corn in a microwave safe bowl for 1 minute intervals until it is no longer frozen. Place the red pepper into a microwave safe bowl and cook on high power for 2 minutes. Combine all of the vegetables and spices (corn through black pepper) in a large bowl. Mix together lemon juice and olive oil, then pour over vegetable mixture. Mix well. This can be served either warm or chilled.
Stealthy Cooking Tip: Salsa is one of those terms that stirs the imagination - it screams fun food! It's a great side for meats, or it's also a great snack. Either way, it's a sneaky way to add vegetables to your diet!
