This salsa comes together in 15 minutes and is a fun change to regular tomato salsa. Perfect for parties, potlucks, barbecues or pool days. Combining some fresh ingredients to some canned ingredients makes this recipe super easy.

INGREDIENT OPTIONS:

• Use frozen corn instead of canned. Just thaw and drain thoroughly before adding to salsa.
• Don’t like cilantro? Just leave it out.
• Feel free to use red, yellow or an orange bell pepper instead of green.
• A different dressing can be used in place of the Italian dressing. I love to use a cilantro lime dressing.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days.

For a spicy kick, try adding a diced small jalapeno, few splashes of hot sauce, or a ½ teaspoon of dried chili pepper flakes.
For a sweeter flavor, try adding diced mango or pineapple.
Diced avocado goes well with this salsa.
