Here’s a recipe for delicious Corn, Cucumber, and Peanut Pico de Gallo salsa:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 cup diced cucumber
• 1/2 cup roasted corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 4-6 tablespoons roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
• 1-2 jalapeño peppers, finely minced (adjust to taste)
• 2-3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

   • Roast corn in the oven on broil for about 5-7 minutes till it starts to get a little charred.
   • Dice the cucumber and tomatoes into small pieces. You can peel the cucumber if desired.
   • Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and roasted peanuts.
   • Mince the jalapeño peppers, removing the seeds and membranes if you prefer less heat.

2. Combine the Ingredients:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted corn, diced cucumber, and tomato, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño peppers, and chopped peanuts.

3. Add Lime Juice and Salt:

   • Drizzle the fresh lime juice over the mixture. Start with 2 tablespoons and adjust according to your taste preference.
   • Sprinkle salt over the mixture to taste. Remember that the salt will help bring out the flavors of the ingredients.

4. Mix and Chill:

   • Gently toss all the ingredients together to ensure even distribution of flavors.

5. Refrigerate:

   • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.

6. Serve:

   • Once chilled, give the salsa a final gentle toss.
   • Serve the Corn, Cucumber, and Peanut Pico de Gallo salsa with tortilla chips, as a topping for grilled meats, or as a side dish to your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes.

7. Optional Variations:

   • Feel free to add other ingredients such as diced avocado, diced mango, or pineapple for extra flavor and texture.
   • Adjust the amount of jalapeño peppers to control the level of spiciness.
