Trader Joe’s Corn & Chile Salsa is definitely corny. In a good way. It’s an a-maizing condiment, beginning with a base of sweet corn, and blended with finely diced red bell peppers, onions, jalapeño peppers, and a bit of sugar. By “a base of sweet corn,” we mean, “lots and lots of sweet corn.” As in, 1.8 ears of corn in every jar – we have taken them off their cobs to make them fit. (We’ve sold enough of this salsa that over time, this has added up to more than 41,313,173 ears of corn.) It has a little kick, but it’s not what we’d call hot.

Pile it into tacos or burritos, scoop it up with Organic Corn Dippers, spoon it over salads or chili or soup, use it as a dip for veggies, fold it into scrambled eggs, serve it as a side dish with grilled chicken or fish, or even use it in place of traditional relish on a hot dog.
