Shave the corn kernels off each cob. Be careful not to shave too close to the cob, yet close enough to cut off the complete kernels. If the kernels have the dry white tips on the end, you have cut in too far. Mix kernels, red pepper, jalapeno peppers, onion and cilantro. Stir well. Pour in olive oil and lemon juice. Add sea salt, cayenne pepper and garlic powder. Adjust spice ingredients to taste. Â
Raw corn is so delicious and nutritious! This salsa is versatile and can be served in so many different ways, as a salsa, side dish, mixed with any of the salads or mixed with other vegetables to make a soup. It is also wonderful with the tortilla chips with a hint of jalapeno! Â
Nutritional note: Corn promotes pancreatic health and aids in fighting anemia. Garlic fights high blood pressure and is a blood cleanser.
