Corn Salsa Dip with garlic sea salt
This corn salsa dip is a quick appetizer made with sweet corn, tomatoes, red pepper, red onion, parsley, lime juice, and black garlic sea salt.

Why Black Garlic Sea Salt Works in This Corn Salsa Dip
Black garlic sea salt works in corn salsa because it adds both salt and umami depth to sweet vegetables. The black garlic flavor complements corn, tomato, red pepper, onion, parsley, and lime juice, making the dip taste more rounded than it would with plain salt. It is especially useful in no-cook recipes where the seasoning has to do more work.
Instructions:
Mix all of the ingredients together and serve with nacho chips
