The jalapeño and honey allows the salsa to have a little zest with out to much of a punch. Not only is it delicious, it is easy to make and can be made well in advance of any event. The longer it sets the better the flavor gets!!
How to make Fresh Corn Salad:
Start with fresh ears of corn, peal and clean them. While doing so set a pot on the stove with about 6 cups of water and bring it to a boil. You want enough water to cover the ears of corn. Once cleaned add the corn to the boiling water, reduce the heat to medium-high and for 7 minutes. While the corn is cooking chop up the jalapeño and onion. You can leave the seeds if you want more of a kick, or remove them if you don't want it to spicy. In a sauté pan cook on low for 5 minutes to allow the jalapeño and onion to soften. This add amazing flavor to the Fresh Corn Salad. Once corn is done cut the corn off the ears. Combine the corn, jalapeño, onion honey, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Put in a sealable container in the fridge and allow to sit for a few hours so the amazing flavors can combine!
This is easy adaptable to your taste. If you like the punch then you can certainly add more jalapeño or just leave the seeds! If you want it a little more sweet add a bit more honey. No matter how you like, you can't go wrong. Remember the flavors need to marinade for a few hours, you can always add more after it has been in the fridge for a few hours.
ENJOY!
