A Cinco de Mayo celebration isn’t complete without some form of a corn salsa.

At least not to me it isn’t. I love it and could easily make a meal out of this smoky corn salsa and a bag of tortilla chips. I suppose this is where I tell you about my life long obsession with corn salsa. If you do a quick search of “corn salsa” on this blog and you will see what I mean. I even have a recipe for corn pico de gallo.

Love. it.
