Description

Corn salsa with pear is a fresh fruit salsa perfect over fish or pork.

Ingredients

  • 2 ears yellow or white corn, husked
  • 1 ripe bartlett pear, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
  • 2 tbsps fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsps fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 small serrano chile, minced
  • 2 tbsps purple onion, finely chopped
  • tsp olive oil - for grilling corn
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

Coat the ears of corn with olive oil. Grill the corn over direct high heat (on a charcoal or gas-fired grill). Cook until lightly charred in spots on all sides, about 6 to 8 minutes.

In a medium sized bowl, combine the pear, mint, cilantro, onion, lime juice, chile pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.

With a knife, slice the kernels off of the corn. Add corn kernels to the salsa mixture. Mix thoroughly and chill in the refrigerator before serving.
