Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 cup Black beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 2 Roma tomatoes (diced)
- 1 Red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 small Red onion (finely chopped)
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 Jalapeño pepper (seeded and finely chopped)
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
If using fresh corn, cook the kernels in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then drain and let them cool completely. If using frozen corn, thaw it, and if using canned corn, drain and rinse thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels, black beans, diced tomatoes, diced red bell pepper, and finely chopped red onion.
Add the chopped fresh cilantro and finely chopped jalapeño pepper to the bowl.
In a small separate bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the salsa mixture and gently toss everything together to ensure the ingredients are well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning by adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper if needed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salsa for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Corn Black Bean Salsa chilled with tortilla chips, or use it as a topping for tacos, salads, or grilled meats.
