Fresh Roasted Corn, Mango, and Pineapple Relish – A Tropical Sweet-Heat Favorite
This colorful relish bursts with sweetness from mango and pineapple, balanced by smoky roasted corn and zesty lime. It’s the perfect topping for grilled chicken, fish, or tacos—or just enjoy it straight with chips!
🧂 Ingredients (Serves 4–6):
- 2 ears fresh corn, husked
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
🍳 Instructions:
1️⃣ Roast the Corn:
🔥 Lightly oil the corn and grill over medium-high heat until charred in spots, turning occasionally—about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cob.
2️⃣ Prepare the Fruit:
🥭 Dice the peeled mango and pineapple into small, even cubes. Make sure they’re ripe but firm to hold their shape in the relish.
3️⃣ Combine Ingredients:
🥣 In a bowl, mix the roasted corn, mango, pineapple, red onion, chili, and cilantro.
4️⃣ Add the Dressing:
🍋 Drizzle the mixture with lime juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until everything is well combined.
5️⃣ Chill and Serve:
❄️ Refrigerate for 15–30 minutes to let the flavors come together. Serve cold or at room temperature.
