Description

Sweet corn, hearty black beans, earthy tomato, bright lime, and a spark of cilantro dancing together in perfect harmony,

Fresh, zesty, and irresistibly vibrant, this salsa brings a pop of color and a whole lot of joy to chips, bowls, and cozy kitchen moments alike.

Ingredients
  • 3 cups sweet corn, fresh or frozen (thawed) (white or yellow)
  • 15 ounce can of black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 4 Roma tomatoes, diced (or 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered)
  • 1/2 white onion (diced)
  • 1 large avocado (diced)
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, leaves only (chopped)
    • Dressing
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 large garlic cloves (minced)
  • Juice of one lime
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Combine corn, black beans, Roma tomatoes, onions, avocado, and cilantro in a medium bowl: cover and chill.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl and whisking until well blended. Pour over the vegetables, and gently stir to coat.

    This salsa is best if served the same day, but you can enjoy any leftovers within three days.
  3. 3

    Served on tacos, atop a taco salad, or with a big bag of chips like  Garden of Eatin's blue, yellow, and white tortilla chips. If you want a spicier chip, try their Red Hot Blues Corn Tortilla Chips. However you decide to enjoy it, one thing's for sure—you'll definitely enjoy it!
