When I was asked to re-create a recipe with Fresh from Florida sweet corn, I was over the moon. Corn is one of those veggies that we don’t eat as often as we would like to. There’s something about fresh corn that makes my family happy. It’s sweet, it’s delicious and it can be incorporated into so many dishes.
Lately, when I think of fresh corn, I immediately think salsa. What’s better than a fresh salsa? It makes a great side dish or a dip for your favorite chips. I’m excited to share my take on the Corn, Tomato and Avocado Salsa from the Fresh From Florida website. We had to alter it just a bit because kids can be picky.
We are very fortunate to live in Florida, where local farmers make it easy for everyone to eat fresh produce year-round. Our local Publix supermarket offers a large variety of fresh veggies and fruits and we find ourselves there multiple times a week, stocking up on as many as we can fit into our fridge. Publix proudly displays the “Fresh from Florida” sign on all of the locally grown produce, so we know which ones were grown right here in our beautiful sunshine state.
Before making the salsa, make sure to roast the corn. I found a really easy way to do it that I wanted to share.
Once the corn is roasted, let cool a bit before you cut the kernels. Then you’re ready to make the Corn, Tomato and Avocado Salsa!
You can find the full recipe below. It was such a hit that my 8 year old would have eaten the entire bowl if I didn’t take the spoon out of her hands. It’s easy and really delicious. Next time, we may add some black beans to it, for a heartier dish. I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Is it something you would make? What changes would you make?

This looks so yummy! I am definitely trying this out.
Corn salsa is one of my go-to dishes; I probably make it like very other week! lol I like to add jalapenos in mine to give it a spicy kick and black beans to make it more filling.
We make this, but as a salad. Never thought to use it as a salsa! I think I might roughly chop it up a little if I were planning to use it as a dip. It’s so delicious!
Oh My! My mouth is watering just reading this. Not to mention the fact that you took the corn kernels directly from the cob. I can only imagine how tasty this is. Plus, its all my favorite ingredients. Must try it!
I will have to try this recipe. I have some FFF tomatoes on hand and will look for some corn on my next visit to the store.
Oh my, that looks delish! Anything with avocado is a hit for me. I’m going to try your salsa soon. Yum!
I’ve heard so much about Fresh From Florida and I sure would love to try their veggies and their fruits! I think it’s awesome how fresh the produce are! They’re perfect for recipes like salsa and salads which I love!
