Joan and David Oswalt of Pasadena, California, write: "David and I both love to cook, but our approaches couldn't be more different. He'll start from scratch and spend months perfecting a particular dish, while I prefer to take a basic recipe and just add my own touches."

Serve the salsa with the Baked Ribs with Spicy Blackberry Sauce, or with sautéed shrimp or scallops.
