For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the corn before cutting the kernels off the cob. Red onion, finely diced, can be added for an extra bite. If you don't have fresh jalapeno, a pinch of red pepper flakes will work in a pinch. This relish is best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
