Here's a recipe for delicious Corn, Cucumber, and Peanut Pico de Gallo salsa:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup diced cucumber
- 1/2 cup roasted corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 4-6 tablespoons roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
- 1-2 jalapeño peppers, finely minced (adjust to taste)
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Roast corn in the oven on broil for about 5-7 minutes till it starts to get a little charred.
- Dice the cucumber and tomatoes into small pieces. You can peel the cucumber if desired.
- Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and roasted peanuts.
- Mince the jalapeño peppers, removing the seeds and membranes if you prefer less heat.

Combine the Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted corn, diced cucumber, and tomato, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño peppers, and chopped peanuts.

Add Lime Juice and Salt:
- Drizzle the fresh lime juice over the mixture. Start with 2 tablespoons and adjust according to your taste preference.
- Sprinkle salt over the mixture to taste. Remember that the salt will help bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
-
Mix and Chill:
- Gently toss all the ingredients together to ensure even distribution of flavors.

Refrigerate:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.

Serve:
- Once chilled, give the salsa a final gentle toss.
- Serve the Corn, Cucumber, and Peanut Pico de Gallo salsa with tortilla chips, as a topping for grilled meats, or as a side dish to your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes.

Optional Variations:
- Feel free to add other ingredients such as diced avocado, diced mango, or pineapple for extra flavor and texture.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeño peppers to control the level of spiciness.
