I use salsas a lot and I absolutely love this Sweetcorn and Tomato Salsa, inspired from the one and only, Jamie Oliver.

It’s packed full with antioxidants and can be used to pimp up many a potentially boring meal.

Antioxidants scavenge free-radicals and are pivotal in the aging process of cells. They have many benefits, some of which can be to help to boost the immune system, lower inflammation, support the nervous system, lower cholesterol and improve skin quality (Alphonse & Palaniyappana, 2011; Kritchevsky et al, 2000; Pasten et al, 2007); Kaliora et al, 2006;  Valenti et al, 2011).

TIP: A quick and easy way to increase your antioxidant status? Make half of every meal colourful vegetables! This is also a good way to make sure your not scoffing millions of calories and instead using that time to guzzle essential vitamins and minerals.

This solid favourite of mine, has a bit of a Mexicano vibe to it. The corn adds a nice sweetness and bite, while the lime and herbs add freshhhhness to every mouthful!

For a serving of about 3 portions, I used:

1 corn on the cob

300g vine tomatoes, finely chopped

good bunch of coriander

a small handful of mint

juice of 1 lime

2tbsp olive oil

1/2 red chilli, finely chopped

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

Heat a dry skillet and add the corn on the cob. Turn regularly until the kernels are a deep yellow, some slightly charred.

Once cooked, sit it on it’s bottom on a chopping board and cut down the core with a sharp knife, so the kernels fall off. Add these to the rest of the ingredients. Mix and serve with chicken/fish/lamb kebabs/aubergine salad/hummus, or anything else for which your heart yearns!
