Peach Corn Salsa
When it rains, it pours. For instance, think about produce in the summer. Just when peaches are in season and they are available in abundance, barbecue season is still in full swing - as is the sweet corn crop.
Grilled corn is a staple of the season and like peaches, they are something you want to enjoy when the opportunity presents itself. This brings us to the problem of what to do with leftover grilled corn. Sometimes you end up grilling a bit more than you need, but there are ways that you can use this overabundance of summer sweet corn as well as incorporating the fresh peaches, which are also readily available.
Salsa is one way to make grilled sweet corn and peaches into something absolutely wonderful. This spectacular peach-corn salsa is perfectly sprightly and spicy, making a perfect addition to any summer barbecue.
Peach Salsa with Corn
Ingredients -
4 peaches, peeled and diced
1 cup grilled corn
1 red onion, diced
2 green onions, ends trimmed and sliced thin
¼ cup cilantro, chopped
Juice of 2 limes
salt and black pepper, to taste
Preparation:
Begin by taking that leftover grilled corn out of the refrigerator and cut the kernels off of the cob. Add the corn to a bowl along with the peeled, chopped peaches, red onion, green onion, cilantro and lime juice.
Stir well to mix and season to taste with salt and black pepper before refrigerating. Your peach and corn salsa will taste significantly better if you allow it to rest for a couple of hours (or longer, overnight is best of all if you have the time to prepare your salsa a day ahead of time) before serving. This gives the flavors of your salsa time to develop and to blend with one another, ensuring that your salsa is at its absolute best before you start digging in.
