Black Bean Corn Salsa
Description
The Black Bean Corn Salsa combines drained and rinsed black beans with canned corn and chopped fresh Roma tomatoes. Fresh cilantro adds herbaceous notes, while Italian dressing and lime juice provide a tangy, slightly acidic base. Cubed avocado adds creaminess when stirred in just before serving, maintaining its texture and preventing browning. Garlic salt and black pepper season the salsa to taste.
The salsa is best enjoyed fresh but can be made ahead by adding the dressing and cilantro just before serving. Its bright, fresh flavors and combination of soft and crisp textures make it a versatile accompaniment to grilled meats, tortilla chips, tacos, or as a salad topping.
To maintain freshness, store the salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days, adding avocados last to avoid discoloration.
