Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed Black beans
• 1 cup (fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed) Corn kernels
• 1 cup, halved or diced Cherry or grape tomatoes
• 0.5 cup, finely diced Red onion
• 0.25 cup, chopped Cilantro
• 1 small, finely diced (optional, deseeded for less heat) Jalapeño pepper
• 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly under cold running water. Set aside to let excess water drain.

Step 2

If using fresh corn, shave the kernels off the cob with a sharp knife. If using canned or frozen corn, drain or thaw it accordingly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper (if using).

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, make the dressing by whisking together lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the bean, corn, and tomato mixture. Toss everything gently but thoroughly to combine.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for heat.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salsa for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors blend.

Step 8

Serve the salsa chilled or at room temperature with tortilla chips, or use it as a topping for tacos, grilled chicken, or fish.
