Sweet Corn Relish

It's that time of the year when dinners should be simple. Steamed fish. Grilled chicken. You know the drill.

But those simpler meals can also be pretty "blah." Not so when you have great, fresh relishes like this. A spoonful alongside your perfectly-cooked protein makes it a summer supper to celebrate. Even better, wrap the fish/chicken in a tortilla, top it with relish and declare "Taco Night."
