Corn and Zucchini Salsa

Corn and Zucchini Salsa is a perfect summer recipe to use up those tomatoes, zucchinis and corn. It is delicious on everything, especially salads, chicken, or fajita tacos.

I LOVE pico de gallo. I put it on everything. When I am trying to lose weight I literally put it on every dish. It is so versatile. It can be a dip or an appetizer or a garnish. It is healthy yet delicious. So when I had some extra corn and zucchini, it seemed only natural to me to make a salsa.

You need some corn, (preferably fresh, but frozen or canned would work) fresh tomatoes, 1 fresh zucchini, 1 jalapeño, 1 onion, and a clove of garlic. Sauté the zucchini, onions, and garlic in a little olive oil. In a medium bowl, add the corn, chopped tomatoes, chopped jalapeño, and zucchini, onions, and garlic. Toss and add chopped cilantro as a final touch.
