CORN-MANGO SALSA / SALAD

This Corn-Mango Salsa is a mix of rainbow-hued veggies + mangoes + corn kernels and buttery corncobs. This salad will remind you of the Mexican Salsa for the key ingredients I have used to prepare this salad

This healthy salad is one of the best appetizers, I have ever prepared. The salsa has all the flavours to satisfy your taste buds. Riped mangoes add a sweet note to it. Corncobs and the kernels are also sweeter, so I added red chilly powder while steaming and tempering the corncob to balance the flavours. Tangy pickled onions are flavoured with 2 types of peppers and cinnamon to give a kick to the salad. On the whole, this corn-mango salsa is a complete package of contrasts of colours, tastes and flavours. Hope you would love to make this salsa
