The Parker's Not-Grilled Corn Salsa

Submitted by The Parker

"This side is so versatile and quick! The key to this recipe is using what you have-Make it your own! It's fabulous with crabcakes, ANY seafood, poultry, even steaks. We enjoy it pretty spicy, but you can make it completely mild by simply omitting the cayenne or serrano chile pepper. My favorite way of serving this is on top of 'The Parker's Favorite Salmon with Sweet and Spicy Creamy Ginger Sauce'."
