With tomatoes in short supply and prices high, a simple bowl of fresh salsa can start to feel a bit like a luxury item. So maybe it’s time to ditch the tomatoes and try another of summer’s stars as the main ingredient.
This recipe for grilled corn and red onion salsa uses inexpensive frozen corn kernels, grilling them on a cedar plank to add plenty of flavor. When available, corn on the cob is even better.
Simply rub each ear with oil and grill over medium until lightly browned. Slice off the kernels using a serrated knife, then proceed with the recipe.
Cedar planks for grilling are widely available at most grocers, usually near the meat or seafood departments. All planks should be soaked in water for about 30 minutes before grilling.
