About the sun-dried tomatoes:
Use oil-packed tomatoes. The dried tomatoes in a bag will just be too dry- even if re-constituted with water. The tomatoes packed in oil are so much softer and more flavorful. Plus, there is olive oil in the recipe anyways, so it all works well together.

Ingredients
- 1½ cups fresh corn kernels
- 6 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), drained and chopped
- 6 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
- 6 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 6 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1½ tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon seeded and minced fresh jalapeno
- 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine all of the salsa ingredients. Set aside at room temperature for about an hour. Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for fish or grilled chicken!
Notes
- To cut corn easily, cut end off of the corn and set it cut-end-down inside a shallow bowl. Use sharp knife to cut down from top to bottom and let the corn kernels gather in the bowl.
- If the onions are bothering you while chopping them, put lime juice directly on the chopped onions- it neutralizes them.
