Roasted Corn Salsa

If serving corn salsa for dinner is wrong - I don't want to be right.  It's so stinking hot outside that salsa really seems like the best option for dinner.  You know it's a scorcher when it's too hot to even stand on the deck and grill something for dinner.  (I'm determined to try and fry an egg on my back deck one day -- I'll keep you posted on that little experiment. ) 🍳 Wouldn't we all just prefer to eat salsa and chips for dinner anyway?  

​This roasted corn salsa is delicious as a meal.  It's equally delicious on a taco and a burrito.  It's delicious on a salad and and over a bowl of grits.  I would eat it in the air, I would eat it in a chair.  I would eat it in the car and in a bar.  I couldn't resist.  😂

This scrumptious roasted corn salsa is refreshing and hearty and the sweet corn just steals the show.  You know how much I love a good pan of roasted vegetables and adding just a few fresh herbs and spices really brings out their flavor beautifully.  Stock up on the chips friends - you're going to eat a lot of them while you devour this salsa.

Sometimes I add a half and avocado to my corn salsa because I'm obsessed with avocados and because they make everything better.  ​I'd love to hear from any of you who make this salsa with modifications.  Let me know what kinds of peppers, seasonings, and spices do you add to make it unique.    🌶

​Ciao!
