Corn Salsa
Place ears of corn, with husk on, into microwave. Cook for 10- 12 minutes. Carefully remove from microwave, they will be hot. Cut off ends of corn and carefully pull the cob out of the husk. There will be no silk. This works so well!!
Allow the corn to cool and then use a sharp knife to cut the corn off the cob.
Combine corn with remaining ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste. Squeeze lime or lemon juice over the top. Refrigerate until ready to use.
