Here’s a recipe for delicious Corn, Cucumber, and Peanut Pico de Gallo salsa:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup roasted corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 4-6 tablespoons roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
  • 1-2 jalapeño peppers, finely minced (adjust to taste)
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients:

    • Roast corn in the oven on broil for about 5-7 minutes till it starts to get a little charred.
    • Dice the cucumber and tomatoes into small pieces. You can peel the cucumber if desired.
    • Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and roasted peanuts.
    • Mince the jalapeño peppers, removing the seeds and membranes if you prefer less heat.

  2. Combine the Ingredients:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted corn, diced cucumber, and tomato, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño peppers, and chopped peanuts.

  3. Add Lime Juice and Salt:

    • Drizzle the fresh lime juice over the mixture. Start with 2 tablespoons and adjust according to your taste preference.
    • Sprinkle salt over the mixture to taste. Remember that the salt will help bring out the flavors of the ingredients.

  4. Mix and Chill:

    • Gently toss all the ingredients together to ensure even distribution of flavors.

  5. Refrigerate:

    • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.

  6. Serve:

    • Once chilled, give the salsa a final gentle toss.
    • Serve the Corn, Cucumber, and Peanut Pico de Gallo salsa with tortilla chips, as a topping for grilled meats, or as a side dish to your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes.

  7. Optional Variations:

    • Feel free to add other ingredients such as diced avocado, diced mango, or pineapple for extra flavor and texture.
    • Adjust the amount of jalapeño peppers to control the level of spiciness.
