Summer Corn Salsa
Good Morning! Welcome to the Spring 2017 edition of Freaky Friday! I am so excited to be participating! This group is the brainchild of my friend, Michaela’s and it is SO MUCH FUN! For those of you that aren’t familiar with Freaky Friday, it is a group of food bloggers that get assigned a secret blog and we get to choose any recipe we want to make from it for our own blogs. Then all of the recipes are revealed at the exact same time and we get to see who had our page and which recipe they selected! It has been a great way for me and my readers to find new blogs to follow, and I feel honored to be a part of it!
My Past Freaky Friday Recipes:
Bacon-Cheeseburger Potato Soup
Cookies and Cream Ice cream Cake
10 Minute Chicken Ramen Stir Fry
Bacon Cheeseburger Mini Meatloaf Patties
PB & J Bar Cookies with Strawberry Jam
This round I got to pick a recipe from one of my FAVORITE BLOGS: Take Two Tapas! Jennifer specializes in making delicious food with big flavors, but with smaller portions. You will find an endless array of yummy salads, savory dishes to make a meal out of, soups to warm you, and sweets to satisfy your sweet tooth without going overboard!!! I could definitely stand to learn a thing or two from Jennifer 🙂
The hardest part of this assignment was narrowing it down to just one recipe. The first recipes that caught my eye were Crack Dip Crescent Bombs and the Skillet Mini Meatball Dip and you can BET they are both on my list to make SOON! But since Cinco de Mayo was last week (and I tell ya, we have been celebrating all month long I think! #CantStopWontStop), I decided to try out her Summer Corn Salsa.
Oh my gosh you guys!!! We had it as a dip for tortilla chips, but also as a topping for some of our favorite Fajita Marinaded Grilled Chicken, and lastly as a dip for chicken quesadillas and I COULD NOT control myself around this stuff! So fresh, flavorful and perfect for the warm weather, grilling season!
I hope you enjoy this one as much as we did!

- 1 bunch cilantro leaves, chopped

Instructions
Mix all ingredients together and add salt & pepper to taste. Let chill in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight before serving. ENJOY!
Jennifer's TIP: If you are using fresh corn, you can cook it quickly by microwaving it in the husk. Just wrap the husk with a wet paper towel and microwave for 3 minutes. You can do up to 3 ears at a time. Once cooked, shuck the corn under cold running water to remove the silk. Then just cut off the cob.
