Corn Salsa

Corn Salsa
Sweet corn paired with hot peppers make a colorful appetizer on summer nights.

Cut the kernels off 6 ears of Sweet and Slim Hybrid corn, and mix in a large bowl with 4 finely chopped ripe tomatoes, 1/3 cup minced red onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and 3 tbsp finely minced sweet basil. Stir in juice of 3 limes, and 2 tbsp minced Anaheim or JalapeƱo hot pepper. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper. Serve with chips.
