T’is the fresh corn season and you do not want to miss out this yummy sweet summer delightful produce.
Corn is the perfect high fiber, low-cal way to add a sweet crunchy flavor to any of your summer dishes.
With the tomato crop being so plentiful as well this season, i thought to create a combo salsa that is delicious, healthful, and perfect with flackers, chips, as a side dish alone or with baked summer fresh potatoes.
This salsa is low in everything: calories, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate and fat, but not in flavor. It boasts corn, which is a whole grain and tomatoes, which are rich in antioxidants. The perfect yummy guilt-free summer treat.
Recipe:
- 3 cups chopped seeded tomato (about 3 medium)
- 3/4 cup chopped sweet onion
- 1/2 cup chopped tomatillos (about 2 medium)
