Another post featuring a frozen staple: corn! During the summer when corn is at its peak freshness, we freeze bags full of corn from the cob to have on hand for the future. It’s a good staple to have in the freezer because it is an easy ingredient to add into any meal.
One of my favorite summer appetizers is chips and salsa. There’s something so refreshing about the salty chips mixed with fresh, cool vegetables. This corn salsa is a fun take on the classic, made with all ingredients I had on hand.
As for the corn salsa pizza, it is even easier. A simple cauliflower crust with an olive oil, garlic and mozzarella base works as a simple vehicle that does not overwhelm the pizza toppings. Additionally, the cauliflower crust is thin, making the dish more crispy like flatbread. The two additional vegetables, zucchini and roma tomato, work to compliment the corn salsa that is added at the end of the pizza cooking process.
SO… what ingredients do you need for the salsa?
- Frozen corn: you can easily replace this with fresh corn as well
- Red onion
- Jalapeno
- Olive oil
- Chili Powder
- Balsamic Vinegar
- Red Wine Vinegar
- Salt and Pepper
