House Works: Corn Salsa

Let's face it. Sweet corn is awesome. It tastes great, but sometimes you have quite a bit of it laying around. You might be looking for a new way to use it, other than just eating it off the cob.

In this House Works, Chef Judy shows us how to make a unique corn salsa that's the perfect side dish for any summer meal.
