Ingredients

• 1 cup Black beans
• 1 cup Fresh corn kernels
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Jalapeño
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off a fresh ear of corn to make approximately 1 cup. Add these to the bowl with the beans.

Step 3

Dice the red bell pepper into small, consistent pieces and add to the mixing bowl.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl, providing a burst of fresh, tangy flavor.

Step 5

Finely chop 1/2 a medium red onion and add to the bowl for a subtle crunch and sharpness.

Step 6

Chop the cilantro leaves and add to the bowl, infusing an aromatic touch to the salsa.

Step 7

Slice a medium jalapeño in half and remove the seeds if a milder salsa is preferred. Finely chop and add to the mix for some heat.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper to create your dressing.

Step 9

Pour the lime dressing over the mixed salsa ingredients and gently toss to ensure even distribution.

Step 10

Cover the salsa and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Serve your salsa chilled as a refreshing appetizer, side dish, or as a topping for your favorite low-carb dish.
