Ingredients

2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 ears of corn)

1 medium red bell pepper, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 package of mini phyllo pastry cups (15 count)

Avocado slices (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn on the cob, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and boil for 3-5 minutes until just tender. Remove from water, let cool, and then cut the kernels off the cob.

Mix the Salsa: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.

Dress the Salsa: Drizzle the lime juice and olive oil over the salsa mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

Assemble the Cups: Place the mini phyllo cups on a serving platter. Spoon a generous amount of the corn salsa into each cup, allowing some of the salsa to overflow slightly for a colorful presentation.

Garnish: If desired, top each salsa cup with a small slice of avocado for an added buttery texture and flavor.

Serve: Enjoy the Fresh Corn Salsa Cups immediately, or refrigerate the salsa for up to 2 hours before serving for a cooler flavor profile.
