Ingredients

(makes approx. 6 cups):

• 1 large corn cob, husk and silk removed

• 2 tsp olive oil

• sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste

• 10-15 cherry tomatoes, roughly chopped

• 1 medium red capsicum, deseeded and diced

• 1 medium yellow capsicum, deseeded and diced

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1 large handful fresh coriander, chopped

• juice of 1 lime

Method:

1. Heat a barbecue grill plate or chargrill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the corn with oil and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Grill the corn for 10-12 minutes, until tender and slightly charred, turning with tongs occasionally. Set aside to cool slightly.

2. Transfer the corn to a clean work surface and slice the corn from the cob. Place the corn kernels in a large mixing bowl.

3. Add the tomatoes, red and yellow capsicum, chilli, spring onions, black beans, onion, cumin and coriander to the mixing bowl with the corn and gently mix until well combined.

4. Drizzle over the lime juice and gently toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.

5. Place the rainbow salsa in a serving bowl and serve with corn chips on the side.
