Toasted Corn Salsa image

Resist the urge to substitute frozen corn for fresh in this delightfully crunchy salsa recipe from "America's Test Kitchen Healthy Family Cookbook." Be sure to use a nonstick skillet when toasting the corn, and for a spicier version, add the jalapeño seeds. You can make this ahead and refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Just season with additional lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste before serving.

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 ears corn, kernels removed
1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and chopped fine
1/2 jalapeño chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced (see note above)

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper

Steps:
