Sheryl’s Corn Salsa

Lately I have been really in the “nesting” mode! I got the babies room painted and now I just need to finish up the drapes and get fabric for the crib skirt and a pillow. And I am trying not to think too much about my son starting kindergarten in less than 2 weeks! Ah! I’m excited for him to start school but makes me sad at the same time. My little boy is growing up 🙁

My mother-in-law introduced me to this salsa years ago. And now we always find a way to add this to the menu when we are up visiting them in Utah. When we were there a few weeks ago she made this and served it with some tamales smothered in a great tomatillo green sauce. It was a delicious, easy dinner. This salsa is great as an appetizer or side dish or a midnight snack! 🙂

Find any excuse to make this salsa, you will not regret it!

Author: Adell Goff

Ingredients

• green pepper, chopped
• 2 (11ounce) cans shoepeg corn, drained
• 1 (14 ounce) can olives, chopped
• 7-8 roma tomatoes, chopped
• 3-4 green onions, chopped
• 1 fresh lime, squeezed
• 1 (good seasons) zesty italian salad dressing mix (made according to directions on package)
• avocado, diced (optional)
• tortilla chips

Instructions

1. Make the italian dressing according to the package directions. Set aside.
2. Chop the green pepper, olives, roma tomatoes & green onions and put in a large bowl. Drain the corn and add to the bowl. Pour desired amount of dressing into the bowl and mix. Squeeze the fresh lime juice into the bowl.
3. Add the avocado last. If you are not going to eat it all right away, only add avocado to what you are eating. It will store for a few days in the fridge as long as you add the avocado as you go.
4. Serve with tortilla chips.

Notes

Shoepeg corn may be hard to find. It is a small, white colored corn and it's important you use it in this recipe. If you use yellow corn, it will work, but will taste a little different. Also, you must use the Zesty italian dressing packet (not regular).
