Each red and yellow capsicum contains about 2 teaspoons of natural sugar, resulting in the slightly sweet taste to this salsa.

- Heat grill to medium hot. Brush tomatoes and onion with oil and place, with the corn, on the grill.
- Grill 10 cm from heat, turning frequently, until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
- When cool enough to handle, finely chop tomatoes and onion. Remove husk from corn and cut kernels from cob.
- Combine all the ingredients in a serving bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Helpful hint
Coriander's distinctive flavour does not please every palate. If it is too intrusive for you, try dill, chervil or Italian flat-leaf parsley in your salsa.
