You can use frozen or canned corn if fresh is not available, but fresh is always best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look for ears of corn that are heavy for their size and have a slight sheen to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-fresh-tomatoes\">Fresh Tomatoes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fresh tomatoes add a burst of juicy flavor to the salsa, and they&#8217;re at their peak flavor during the summer months. Look for ripe, red tomatoes that are heavy for their size and have a sweet, slightly tangy smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-red-onion\">Red Onion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sweet onion like Vidalia or Maui works well in this recipe, and it adds a depth of flavor and a bit of crunch to the salsa.

If you like a milder salsa, you can use just a small amount of pepper or omit it altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-chopped-fresh-cilantro\">Chopped Fresh Cilantro<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chopped fresh cilantro adds a fresh, herbal flavor to the salsa, and it&#8217;s a classic ingredient in many Mexican dishes. You can use parsley or basil if you don&#8217;t have cilantro, but cilantro is best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-instructions\">Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s walk through every step in detail so your recipe turns out perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1: Prep the Ingredients<\/strong> , start by prepping all of the ingredients, including the corn, tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro.
