What? Some of you don’t like tomatoes? Blasphemy.
Oh, right. I’m one of them. Hence the cooked salsa. Cooked tomatoes I can do. Raw? No thanks.
So sometimes a non tomato based salsa is just what you need.
Since I already had Chipotle’s rice on the brain, this seemed like the perfect salsa to add to the repertoire: roasted corn salsa.
Mild poblano peppers; plump juicy corn; the bite of red onion & cilantro; the tang of lime juice…who needs those silly tomatoes?
You can certainly skip the roasting step, but it’s worth the extra few minutes; it’s really what gives this corn salsa a real bang.

I recently discovered trader joe’s frozen roasted corn and honestly, I’m not sure how I lived without it! I didn’t even think to make my own. Good idea! No corn should be eaten unless roasted anymore now that I’ve had a taste of the “other side”

I created a fruit salsa recipe last year that’s always a winner {especially with cinnamon sugar chips}. There’s kiwi, mango, pineapple, plum and honey…SO fresh and delish, with not a tomato in sight.
I love mango-avocado salsa, it is really good on bbq’d chicken or tilapia.

Never considered roasting corn like that before, but I bet it’d make it SO good. This is such an easy recipe! And I think it’s blasphemy to not like all kinds of tomatoes
but I’ll let it go.
