This is one of my favorite recipes passed down from my gramps! He was always a kitchen wiz, and this Black Bean Corn Salsa was one of his signature dishes. Especially as we near the holidays - I love using family recipes. They are great to share with friends, especially when you live far away from family. It also makes for a great conversation starter when you have guests over! The best part about this recipe is it’s versatility. You can use it as an appetizer for a holiday party if you want to switch up your regular salsa. You can use it as a topping on almost ANYTHING: salads, eggs, fish - I had a friend make it a few days ago for shrimp tacos! The list goes on. Personally, my fiancé works full time and takes two MBA classes a week. Needless to say I am left at home for dinner alone more often than not, so it’s not out of the ordinary for me to eat a whole bowl of it by myself! It’s packed with tons of protein, nutrients, & healthy fats - not to mention delicious flavor! Black Bean Salsa: 1 16 oz can black beans - drained and rinsed 1 cup corn 1/2 basket cherry tomatos halved 1 minced jalapeños (no seeds) 3 green onions chopped 2 tbsp cilantro 2 tbsp red wine vinegar (or to taste) 3 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp cumin 1-2 avocados chopped 1 tbsp of lemon juice (optional)* 1 tbsp of lime juice (optional)* Salt and pepper to taste *I only use the lemon & lime juice if I know I’ll have leftovers. That will keep the avocado fresher for a few days. It can be served with tortilla chips or endive. Enjoy! :)
