This is one of the most refreshing side dishes to make in the summer, especially when good quality corn can easily be found in local grocery stores. It is very appetizing and appealing to look at. It has all the taste elements of sweetness from the corn, acidity (sourness) from the lemon juice, and saltiness from the … salt. Sometimes we leave out the jalapeño because the purple onions are spicy enough. The cilantro and onions also give it an awesome fragrance that will be a great hit in your house. And best of all, it is incredibly healthy!
Ingredients
4 whole sweet corns (on the cob)
1 jalapeño pepper seeded
1/2 cup finely chopped purple onions
1/4 cups chopped cilantro

Fresh ground pepper

Cherry tomatoes (halved or quartered)
