1/3 cup diced red onion
1/2 lime (juiced)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt

Notes

For extra heat, leave some jalapeno seeds in or add hot sauce.
Fresh corn can be used instead of canned for a sweeter taste; cook briefly and cool before use.
Add chopped green onions or bell peppers for extra crunch and flavor variation.
Great served with corn chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
Ensure tomatoes with chiles are well-drained to prevent watery dip.
