Ingredients

8 servings

3 cups raw or cooked corn kernels (about 4 ears—you can also use frozen, thawed corn)
2 jalapeños (seeds removed and finely diced (leave some seeds in for more heat))
1 large ripe tomato (¼-inch diced)
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro (swap mint if you're not into cilantro)
½ small red onion (finely chopped (about ⅓ cup))
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 limes)
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
⅔ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Instructions

Place the corn, jalapeno(s), tomato, cilantro, and red onion in a bowl. Squeeze the lime juice over the top, then sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Give everything a giant stir until it is evenly incorporated. Stir in the feta (if using).
Taste and adjust the seasoning as you wish—if it seems bland, add a little salt; add lime if you want it more zingy; if you want it spicier, add more jalapeno (or some of the membranes and seeds). If time allows, refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to marry. Enjoy with corn chips, add it to a salad, or spoon over grilled chicken or fish.
