Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed Black beans
- 1 cup (fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed) Corn kernels
- 1 cup, halved or diced Cherry or grape tomatoes
- 0.5 cup, finely diced Red onion
- 0.25 cup, chopped Cilantro
- 1 small, finely diced (optional, deseeded for less heat) Jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
Instructions
Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly under cold running water. Set aside to let excess water drain.
If using fresh corn, shave the kernels off the cob with a sharp knife. If using canned or frozen corn, drain or thaw it accordingly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper (if using).
In a separate small bowl, make the dressing by whisking together lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the bean, corn, and tomato mixture. Toss everything gently but thoroughly to combine.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for heat.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salsa for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors blend.
Serve the salsa chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips, or use it as a topping for tacos, grilled chicken, or fish.
