- Add the diced red onion, diced jalapeños, diced poblano pepper, chopped cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, and salt.

Nutrition
Notes
- Drain the corn well: Extra liquid from the canned corn can make the salsa watery, so drain it before mixing.
- Dice everything small: Smaller pieces of onion and peppers help the flavors mix evenly and make the salsa easier to scoop.
- Adjust the heat: Remove the seeds from the jalapeños for a milder salsa, or leave some in if you want more spice.
- Let it chill before serving: Refrigerating the salsa for at least 30 minutes helps the lime, cilantro, peppers, and onion blend together.
- Taste before serving: Add a little more salt or lime juice after chilling if the salsa needs more flavor.
