Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables and Beans

  • 2 cups frozen corn (thawed)
  • 1 cup black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 avocado (diced)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup red onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 tbsp fresh jalapeño (finely diced)
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper (finely diced)

Dressing

  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the thawed corn, drained black beans, diced avocado, finely chopped cilantro, red onion, diced jalapeño, and red bell pepper. Pour in the lime juice, lemon juice, and vegetable oil, then sprinkle the salt over the mixture.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Gently stir all the ingredients together until the salsa is well combined, ensuring the avocado pieces stay intact but evenly coated with the dressing.
  3. Chill to Marinate: Cover the salsa and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salsa to chill for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For extra heat, leave some jalapeño seeds in or add more jalapeño according to taste.
  • Fresh lime and lemon juice provide the best flavor, but bottled can be used if necessary.
  • This salsa pairs well with grilled meats, as a topping for tacos, or simply with tortilla chips as a snack.
  • Consume within 1-2 days for optimal freshness and to avoid avocado browning.
