    • canned sweet corn
    • green onion
    • feta

      I found this recipe a few weeks ago. I didn’t have the green onion so I substituted Vidalia onion and loved it!!

      This looks wonderful and quick! I love the photos too! I'm not a feta cheese lover, would Manchego be a good substitute?

        Thank you, Danni! I think Manchego would be good! I love to experiment. This salsa would be great without the feta/alone – you could add more green onion and be sure to add some fresh cracked pepper for an added layer of flavor- maybe even some avocado. :O)
