black bean & corn salsa
BLACK BEAN & CORN SALSA
You’ll Need:
1 red onion
1 bag frozen corn
2 fresh jalapenos
2-3 vine ripe tomatoes
fresh cilantro to taste
1 can of whole black beans
salt to taste
tortilla chips
Directions:
Place about half the bag of frozen corn into mixing bowl. If the corn is frozen, you can thaw in microwave, but make sure not to cook the corn. Finely chop half of red onion. Chop tomatoes into small pieces and be sure to remove the seed centers ( this helps to keep the salsa from getting too soupy.) Chop jalapenos making sure that you want to scrape out the seeds. Drain and rinse black beans to remove the juice. Finely mince about 2 Tbsp. of fresh cilantro (remember this is up to you, if you like it add more, if not…feel free to take it out!) Place all ingredients in bowl with corn and mix till all the ingredients are well incorporated. Taste salsa and add salt to your liking. You might find it doesn’t even need it!
Now take a chip and dip it! It’s that simple but will have you going back for more.
Buen Apetito!

I made this same salsa, but roast the corn in the oven at 425 F. for 10-12 minutes, with 2 tblsp.
olive oil.
I also toss it with a few tablespoons of fresh lime, 1 tsp. cumin, cider vinegar and a little
olive oil. It’s yummy either way though, lol!
Great photos!
I love this recipe. I make it all the time in the summer but I have a tendency to eat it more as a salad than a dip!
That sounds great! I’ll have to try that on my next batch, b/c it goes fast!
Wow Mary, That sounds incredible! We’ll definitely have to give those suggestions a try next time!!
Your black beans salsa pics look really appetizing. I have a recipe on how to make black beans from dried beans without any seasonings. Love to hear any comments.
Dgrub-It’s great with rehydrated dried black beans!! I’ve done it and it’s wonderful. Using canned beans is just a convenience ….and sometime we need them
That sounds great! I’ll have to try that on my next batch, b/c it goes fast!
I made this tonight and loved it! I used it instead of prepared corn & black bean salsa for use with this shrimp taco recipe from Hungry Girl which was shown today on Rachael Ray:
