Grilled Corn Salsa
I am happy to report that this recipe was a finalist in last year's (2008) Taste of Home corn recipe contest. Essentially, I grill vegetables whenever I grill something else, and this is a great way to eat them. This salsa is wonderful used in a burrito with black beans and jack cheese. I add tomatillo sauce to the top of my burritos.

- Cut corn from cobs (you can buy a handy gadget for this or use a broad knife), cut squash, red pepper,and onion into smallish (think salsa sized, for dipping, etc.) pieces. Transfer to a large bowl and add the tomato.
- In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Shake well and immediately pour over corn mixture, tossing to coat.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or until chilled.
