Great as a side with dinner or as a snack on its own, our salsa if we do say ourselves is pretty amazing. If you prefer, you could swap the tortilla chips for a side of pitta bread.
Ingredients
1 pepper
2 small corn on the cobs
2 chillies
Small handful of tomatoes
3 spring onions
Half a small red onion
2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar
Seasoning
Method
Grill the corn of the cobs for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown at the sides.
Chop up all the ingredients into a large bowl and season.
Add the cooked sweetcorn and drizzle with the balsamic vinegaer.
