One of our favorite Mexican restaurants in the city has a salsa bar in it.  One of my favorite salsa’s is the fresh corn Pico de Gallo.  It is divine.  The first time I had this type of salsa, I knew that I had to go straight home and duplicate this recipe.  It was that good.  Here’s how I make mine. 

Cut the corn off the cob.  If it truly is fresh corn, sometimes I don’t even cook it.  The rawness will give it an extra crunch that I love.  And you cannot beat fresh corn for sweetness.

Dice up a tomato and onions and add to the corn……

Salt and pepper everything…….

Here is where you add in your fresh cilantro.  Guess who keeps killing her herbs?  So, if you are like me, and can’t keep your cilantro alive either, or if it’s January and you are craving this recipe, use the cilantro you have in your spice drawer.

If I have fresh limes I’ll use those, but I always have this on hand……

You also need to add a jalapeño to this for the marvelous taste it gives it.  But, this is me we’re talking about and I forgot to buy one.  Don’t be like me.  Buy the jalapeño.

Even though I forgot to buy the jalapeño, this is so, SO good!  You should try it tonight.
