Fresh Grilled Salsa

This week’s recipe uses three great summer ingredients, two of which you can find at just about any farm stand. We had some tomatoes and corn in the house that needed to be used and well, this is what I came up with.

What You’ll Need…

4 Medium Tomatoes

2 Ears Corn

1 Bell Pepper

½ Medium or 1 Small Onion

1 Peach

4-5 Basil Leaves

2 Tablespoons Vinegar

Hot Sauce (To taste)

Start out by grilling the tomatoes until charred but not cooked through, you don’t want them to be mushy. Also grill the corn until it is just barely cooked through but has char on the outside. Once the tomatoes are grilled allow them to cool so that you can remove the skin. Allow the corn to cool as well and carefully remove the kernels from the cobs.

While the tomatoes are cooking and cooling you can move on to the other ingredients. Dice the pepper, onion, and peach and chop the basil.

When the tomatoes have cooled and the skins have been removed cube them and add all of the fruits/veggies to a bowl. Add the basil, vinegar, and hot sauce and gently stir to combine.

Cover the salsa and allow the flavors to marry in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

Enjoy your fresh salsa in burritos, quesadillas, taco salad, or as a compliment to anything else you care to add flavor to.
