Fresh corn relish and salsa are vibrant and flavorful condiments that can add a burst of summer flavor to any dish. Both dishes are made using fresh corn as the primary ingredient, but there are some key differences between them. Relish is typically sweeter and has a finer texture than salsa, while salsa is often spicier and has a chunkier texture. Whether you prefer the sweet and tangy flavors of relish or the spicy and savory flavors of salsa, you can't go wrong with either of these delicious dishes.

EASY CORN SALSA
I had to make something QUICK for a Mexican themed birthday party, so I threw this together and got RAVE reviews. Some ate it separately most though added it to their burrito and/or fajita mixin's...As usual, I rarely measure, so these measurements are appproximate and by memory...sorry! TRY to make the night before, but it's still good when made on the fly!

ALMOST-FAMOUS CORN SALSA
Fans of Chipotle restaurants will wait in notoriously long lines for the chain's made-to-order burritos. (Yes, we're guilty, too; there's a location right across from our office.) Founder Steve Ells, a former San Francisco chef, hit on a magic formula with his concept for a mix-and-match taqueria: He opened his first Chipotle in Denver in 1993 and now has nearly 1,100 locations. Ells came up with all the recipes himself, including this popular corn salsa. If you get lucky at the restaurant, your burrito maker will pile on a little extra. If you don't, you can make this recipe from Food Network Kitchens - and eat as much as you want.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Brush the poblano with 1 teaspoon olive oil and grill, skin-side down, until charred but still firm, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly; peel and finely chop.
- If using fresh corn, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes; drain.
- Mix the corn (if using frozen, add it here), poblano, jalapeno, cilantro and red onion in a bowl. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, the lime juice, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

- Be sure to dice the vegetables into small pieces so that they are easy to eat.
- Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or oregano, to give your relish or salsa a boost of flavor.
- If you like spicy food, add a diced jalapeño pepper or two to your relish or salsa.
