If this isn't the best tasting corn salsa you've ever had, it's certainly the best looking. Grilled corn, onions, and poblano peppers come together for a corn salsa that is remarkable for its simplicity and flavor. The grill marks of course add visual appeal—and you do eat with your eyes first, as they say. But more importantly, grilling adds a warm smoky flavor you'll never get from seasonings alone. Grab the tortilla chips! You won't be able to stop eating this dip.

For one, their mild and lightly sweet flavor is easy to match with a range of ingredients, from spicy red onion to bright and light herbs such as dill and mint. Perhaps even better, though, is that a cucumber salad is just as good at complementing classic summer mains, such as burgers or grilled meats or fish, as it is supporting spicy entrée since cukes do a great job tempering heat.
