Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner which makes me crave Mexican food and Coronas for a few weeks! I am a big fan of chips and salsa, especially around this time of the year when you can sit down anytime of the day and turn on a baseball game or basketball playoff game. So here is one of my favorite salsa recipes--Corn and Black Bean Salsa. This salsa uses ingredients you can obtain year round--corn, beans, red bell pepper, onion, jalapeno and cilantro.
Ingredients:
1 14 oz can corn, drained
1 14 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium red onion, medium dice
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, seeds removed, small dice
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
3 tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Add corn and beans to a medium bowl. Add pepper, onion, garlic, jalapeno and cilantro to corn and beans then fold together. Now add lime juice and olive oil along with salt and pepper.Notes: This beautiful dish can be used as a dip on anything or can be enjoyed as a refreshing cold relish on the side. Any color pepper can be substituted.
Number of servings: 10-12 as dip
