Notes
You can use frozen or canned corn for this recipe. For that reason, I gave you the rough measurement of the corn. I prefer to use fresh, but I have used frozen before. I simply run it under cold water to defrost. If you are more comfortable cooking it, you can parboil quickly, then rinse under cold water to cool it before using it in the salsa. If you are using canned, drain and rinse first.
