• Transfer the corn to a large bowl and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, bell pepper, jalapeño, scallion, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cover and refrigerate until the flavors have blended, about 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

FIRE-ROASTED CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and cumin in a large bowl.
• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Coat corn and jalapeno peppers with olive oil.
• Place corn and jalapenos on the preheated grill and cook, turning every 3 minutes, until corn is charred, about 15 minutes total. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool 5 minutes.

ROASTED TOMATO AND CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Add the tomatoes, corn, poblano, onions and garlic cloves to the prepared baking sheet. Toss with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 15 minutes. Remove the garlic, flip the poblano and corn over and continue roasting for another 15 minutes, until charred and the tomatoes have softened and begun to split. Let cool for at least 20 minutes.
• Peel the garlic. Remove the skin and stem from the poblano (remove the seeds, too, for a milder salsa).
• Add the roasted tomatoes, poblano, onions and garlic to a food processor, along with the cilantro, jalapeno, coriander, cumin, 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Process until the mixture is evenly combined but still has some texture (similar to crushed canned tomatoes). Remove to a bowl.
• Cut the corn kernels from the cobs and stir into the salsa. Adjust the seasoning with salt and lime juice.
• Serve at room temperature, or refrigerate until ready to serve (see Cook's Note). Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with tortilla chips.

GRILLED CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Brush the corn liberally with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Grill, turning every few minutes, until light gold all over and cooked, about 12 minutes. Let cool and cut off the kernels. Discard the cobs.
• Core the tomatoes and cut a small X on the bottom of each. Brush with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and place on the grill, X side down, away from direct heat. Cover the grill and cook until the tomatoes begin to soften but are not cooked all the way through (or they will melt through the grate!), about 15 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then peel. Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise and squeeze out the juice and the seeds through a sieve into a bowl. Reserve the juices and chop the flesh.
• Put the onions in the non-reactive medium bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the vinegar. Let marinate until the color changes, about 10 minutes.
• Add the chopped tomatoes, reserved tomato juice, onions, basil, and 1/3 cup olive oil to the corn. Toss well. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt, pepper, and remaining vinegar. The salsa is best eaten the same day but will keep, covered and refrigerated, a day or so.
• Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos.
