Notes
Thaw corn safely in the refrigerator or use the quick thaw method below. Never thaw frozen vegetables on your kitchen counter.
Quick Thaw Method for Frozen Corn
Place a colander in your sink, add the frozen corn, and rinse it well with cold water. Allow a stream of water to flow over the corn for about a minute, then use your hands to mix and toss the corn as the water flows over it. Take a break and prep the remaining ingredients for the Corn Salsa and then repeat the rinse and toss a few more times. Be sure to drain it very well before combining it with other ingredients.
Make Ahead and Storage Instructions
Can be made in advance, covered, and refrigerated for several hours before serving.
Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and use within 3 to 4 days for the best quality.
