A vibrant and zesty Mexican-inspired corn salad that straddles the line between salad and salsa, bursting with fresh flavors and a delightful crunch. The sweetness of the corn is perfectly balanced by the heat of the jalapeño and the coolness of the cilantro. It's an irresistible side dish or a flavorful topping for tacos and grilled meats.
