This Black Bean Salsa is perfect as a dip, taco topper, party appetizer, and even as a taco salad mix-in too! We love the simple ingredients and big flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1.5-2 cups black beans ((canned or cooked from dried))
  • 2 cups corn ((canned or thawed/steamed from frozen))
  • 2 large tomatoes ((2 cups diced))
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 TBSP fresh lime juice (plus extra to taste)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep your veggies, draining and rinsing beans/corn as needed. In a large bowl, combine black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, chopped green onion, and chopped cilantro.

  2. 2

    Top with fresh-squeezed lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    For maximum flavor, cover and chill overnight in the refrigerator. (Helloooo meal prep!) If needed, dip may be enjoyed right away or chilled for however much time available.

  4. 4

    Season to taste as needed, adding extras of any of your favorites. You can even add some fresh chopped avocado, bell peppers, white onion, or jalapeño to the mix. I love adding spicy jalapeños, extra lime juice, and extra cilantro - delicious!

  5. 5

    Serve with crunchy tortilla chips as a tasty dip or serve on top of your favorite protein, tacos, salads, burrito bowls, etc... It's fantastic every which way!
