Steps:
- Crush garlic in garlic press or mortar and mash with salt to create a paste. Add the olive oil and mix well.
- Chop tomatoes in 1/2-inch cubes. Add them with juices to garlic mixture in large bowl.
- Use a small, sharp knife to cut the corn kernels from the cob. Add to the bowl.
- Finely chop basil and parsley. Add to bowl, along with lots of pepper. Add chopped jalapenos, if desired. Mix well, cover, and let stand at room temperature while cooking pasta. For the most flavor, let the sauce stand longer (1-3 hours), but do not refrigerate.

Tips:
- Choose the ripest, juiciest tomatoes you can find. This will ensure the best flavor in your salsa.
- Use a variety of tomatoes. This will give your salsa a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes.
- Don't seed the tomatoes. The seeds add flavor and texture to the salsa.
- Use fresh corn. Fresh corn is sweeter and more flavorful than canned corn. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn that has been thawed.
- Chop the vegetables finely. This will help the salsa to come together and make it easier to eat.
- Don't overmix the salsa. Overmixing will make the salsa watery. Gently stir the ingredients together until they are combined.
- Season the salsa to taste. Add salt, pepper, and lime juice until the salsa is flavorful and balanced.
- Serve the salsa immediately. Salsa is best when it is fresh. If you need to store the salsa, refrigerate it for up to 3 days.

This summer tomato corn salsa cruda is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy the flavors of summer. It is perfect for a party or potluck, or as a simple snack.
