Fresh Corn Salsa with Tomato

It's corn season ya'll!!! Here is the best corn salsa recipe that I've made so far using fresh corn. I think I'll omit the shallots next time because I thought it was a touch overpowering but overall this is a delicious salsa that goes well with grilled chicken. Dr. Sweetpea gives this two thumbs up!

3 ears corn, kernels cut from cobs (2 1/4 cups)

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Salt and pepper

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/2 teaspoon honey

1 tomato, cored, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch pieces

1 shallot, minced

1 jalapeño chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (I didn’t add cilantro since we hate it)

Bring 2 cups water to boil in small saucepan over high heat. Stir in corn, baking soda, and 1/4 ­teaspoon salt; remove pan from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Drain corn and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Whisk lime juice, oil, honey, and 1/8 teaspoon salt together in bowl. Add corn, tomato, shallot, jalapeño, and cilantro to lime juice mixture and toss to combine. Let stand for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste; serve.
