Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can corn, drained
- 1 can diced green chiles
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 can of drained corn, 1 can of diced green chiles, 1/2 cup of diced red onion, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, the juice of 1 lime, and salt to taste.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the drained corn and the can of diced green chiles. Make sure to include the green chiles' liquid for added flavor.
- Add the diced red onion to the bowl. This will provide a nice crunch and a hint of sweetness.
- Next, add the chopped cilantro. This herb adds a fresh and vibrant flavor that complements the other ingredients.
- Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the mixture. The acidity from the lime juice will brighten the flavors and enhance the overall taste of the dip.
- Season the mixture with salt to taste. Start with a small pinch, mix well, and adjust according to your preference.
- Gently stir all the ingredients together until they are well combined. Be careful not to mash the corn.
- Once everything is mixed, taste the salsa dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice or salt as desired.
- Transfer the Green Chile Corn Salsa Dip to a serving bowl. You can garnish it with additional chopped cilantro if you like.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Tips
- For maximum flavor, use fresh lime juice instead of bottled - the difference is incredible!
- Let the dip sit for 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- For extra heat, consider adding a finely diced jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce.
- Choose a high-quality, crisp tortilla chip that can stand up to the robust flavors of the dip.
- This salsa also works great as a topping for grilled chicken, fish, or as a side for tacos.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can pulse some of the ingredients briefly in a food processor.
