Fresh Tomato and Corn Salsa

Delicious with the traditional corn tortilla chips,
this salsa is also great on grilled chicken or seafood.

(2.5 cm) pieces (about 1/2 cup
[125 ml] pieces)
1/4 cup (50 ml) fresh cilantro
1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded, cut
into 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces
2 medium vine ripened tomatoes, cut
into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces
Place onion, cilantro and jalapeño in work bowl fitted with the metal blade. Process until
finely chopped, about 5 seconds. Scrape work bowl. Add tomatoes and lime juice. Pulse until
tomatoes are coarsely chopped, about 5 to 7 times. Add corn and salt; pulse once to just
combine. Let stand for 1 hour before serving to allow flavours to develop. Serve with chips.
