Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans
- 1 cup sweet corn
- 2 medium avocados
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.25 cup cilantro
- 1 small jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Open and rinse the black beans under cold water, then drain well. Place the beans in a large mixing bowl.
Add the sweet corn to the bowl. If using canned corn, drain well. If using fresh or frozen corn, ensure it is cooked and cooled.
Dice the avocados into small chunks and gently add them to the bowl.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the mixture.
Chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl along with the finely diced jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat, if desired).
Drizzle the lime juice and olive oil over the mixture.
Season the salsa with salt and black pepper, then gently toss everything together to combine. Be careful not to mash the avocados.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a side dish, or as a topping for tacos, grilled chicken, or fish.
