Corn Salsa, Continuing the Foundational Sauces of California Cuisine and an Ode to Gourmet Magazine

Hello and welcome back to The Stone Soup Cook. I’m so glad you’re here!

For the last few months, I have used my blog to post articles about the foundational sauces of California Cuisine. Since California Cuisine doesn’t have an official set of foundational sauces like French Cuisine does, and I thought it should, I have chosen the following sauces: mayonnaise, vinaigrette, pesto, salsa, soy sauce, Hollandaise and tomato sauce.

I started my exploration of foundational sauces with mayonnaise, then continued on to vinaigrettes and pestos.

Today, I’ continuing my exploration of salsas, which I started a couple of weeks ago when I shared these great recipe for fruit salsas:

Peach salsa:

Cherry salsa:

And today, I’m sharing this delicious recipe for corn salsa, which makes a great side for bar-b-que or any grilled meat, or even as a topping for tacos:

This recipe is so easy and so delicious, you’ll want to make it all summer long!

So let’s get cooking!

But first, a quick poll of my studio audience: Show of hands–who of you out there remembers Gourmet Magazine? I guess they stopped publishing about 10 years ago and I still mourn it. Gourmet Magazine was a food lover’s magazine, with gorgeous pictures and really good recipes. Mr. Stone Soup and I found this recipe for corn salsa in that magazine about a hundred years ago. I have long since lost the recipe and so I actually don’t know what really went into this salad, but my version is super simple and totally delicious.

Tune in later this week for more great salsas!

Until then,

Peace, love and good food,

Keri
