Sweet Corn Pepper Salsa
"This salsa has been a hit at several of our BBQs. Our friends have said they've never had anything like it before and it was devoured! We typically roast the corn for this recipe on the outdoor grill. From the Black Dog Tavern's Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook."

This is good! I cut the recipe in half to try it but accidentally forgot to reduce the jalepeno. Still it wasn't too hot but very tasty. Thank you for posting! -
I can't believe I have not rated this yet. I have been using this for years and I love love love it!! Goes great with our turkey burgers! Its so easy and so healthy! I don't change any ingredients and it always comes out perfect! It is so nice to have a recipe that tastes great and does not have any salt in it!! Thanks! -
Yummy alternative recipe to cheesy corn dishes. Fresh and delicious. I had basil, so I used it in place of the cilantro. I bet it will taste even better tomorrow too. Great, easy recipe. -
I purchased some corn through a local co-op, and the corn was so sweet I thought I must have made a mistake and added sugar to this recipe! I subbed sweet vidalia onions instead of red onions, and mixed up red and green peppers to mix up the color a bit. Absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT7. -
I am surprised no one has discovered this recipe before now. It's very good! I liked the different kick the sherry wine vinegar gave it. I used smoked garlic in my stove top smoker using cherry wood, it added another layer of flavor to the salsa and kept it sweet. Give this one a try! Made for ZWT5, for Hell's Kitchen Angels.

I work full-time as a School Psychologist in Michigan. Besides the kids, one of the best aspects of the job is summer vacation, when I can concentrate on doing more of the things that I like to do---like look up recipes and play games on Recipezaar!!!
I married my wonderful and handsome husband, Sean, in August 2007. He is becoming a wonderful gardender and tends to both our veggie and herb gardens. We really enjoy cooking with our own fresh ingredients. We most often cook together, so my reviews typically reflect our joint opinions. He's the better cook, so I pick up a lot of my techniques from him.
My other interests include reading (now that I have time), Irish dancing (I've taken a class for the last several years), "appreciating" wine (I use the term very loosely), and listening to and going to see Irish bands (I love the Pogues).
I also enjoy travelling, especially around Western Europe, where I have been multiple times. One of my favorite places is Italy, and Sean and I had a great time on our honeymoon eating, drinking, and sightseeing in the Cinque Terre and in Tuscany. This July 2009, we expanded our horizons to Eastern Europe and visited the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Croatia. Two of my favorite dishes on the trip were Croatian: fish brodet and Hvarska gregada. I am looking forward to trying my hand at making them at home as I see that someone on Zaar, who is Croatian, posted recipes for both!
Besides my husband, the other lights of my life are my cats: Chloe, Pip, and my newest ragdoll cat, Giselle, all of whom I absolutely adore.
