Grilled Corn Salsa
- 4 ears corn, in their husks
- 2 jalapeno peppers
- 2 vine-ripened, tomatoes, stemmed, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- Soak the ears of corn (in their husks) in a deep bowl filled with cold water for 1 hour, placing a plate or other heavy waterproof item on top of the corn to keep the ears submerged.
- Preheat a grill to medium.
- Lay the corn on the grill and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, turning frequently, until the outer leaves are blackened.
- Grill the jalapenos for 5 to 6 minutes, turning periodically.
- Remove the corn and jalapenos from the grill and set aside to cool.
- Once the corn is cool, remove the husks and silk and discard.
- Cut the kernels off of the cobs and place in a large bowl.
- Stem, seed and finely chop the jalapenos and add to the bowl with the corn, along with the tomatoes, red onions, garlic, cilantro, mint, lime juice, olive oil and salt.
