side dishes | Juicy, sweet corn, cut straight from the cob, makes this salsa the perfect topping for grilled mushrooms. Serve this vegetarian dish on its own, paired with flank steak or as a topping for open-faced burgers.

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp sherry cooking wine
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp table salt
2 pound portobello mushroom(s), small or baby mushrooms, stems removed
1 piece corn on the cob, kernels removed
2 medium plum tomato(es), chopped
6 items olive(s), black, chopped
2 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped

Directions:

Mix together vinegar, sherry, oil, sugar and salt. Remove 2 tablespoons of vinegar mixture for basting portobellos; reserve the rest for the corn salsa.

Preheat grill. Off heat, coat grill rack with cooking spray. Place mushrooms, stem side up, on grill. Brush lightly with vinegar mixture; cook 2 minutes. Turn mushrooms; brush with remaining vinegar mixture and grill until tender, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from grill; allow to cool about 5 minutes.

Mix together corn, tomatoes, olives, cilantro and reserved vinegar mixture. Cut mushrooms into 1/2-inch-thick slices; top with salsa. Yields about 3 to 4 slices of mushroom and 1/3 cup of salsa per serving.
