Black Bean Salsa
Description
Black Bean Salsa mixes common pantry and fresh ingredients such as black beans, sweet corn, diced tomatoes, and chopped onions with cilantro and lime juice. The result offers a fresh, lightly acidic profile with a combination of creamy beans, crisp corn kernels, and juicy tomatoes. The salsa is straightforward to assemble without cooking, relying on fresh produce and seasonings to build flavor.
The lime juice brightens the salsa while the cilantro adds herbal notes, complemented by a mild crunch from red and green onions. The salsa is served chilled or at room temperature, perfect for dipping or layering onto proteins, tacos, or bowls.
To enhance flavor, the recipe suggests chilling overnight, allowing the ingredients to meld. Additional variations can include chopped avocado or jalapeños for creaminess and heat, respectively. The salsa adapts well to personal seasoning adjustments.
Ingredients
- 1.5-2 cups black beans (canned or cooked from dried)
- 2 cups corn (canned or thawed/steamed from frozen)
- 2 tomato 2 cups diced, large
- ½ cup red onion diced
- ¼ cup green onion chopped
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped, fresh
- 2 TBSP lime juice plus extra to taste, fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- 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.
- Top with fresh-squeezed lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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!
Notes
- If red onion is unavailable, diced white onion can be used as a milder substitute, roughly 1 to 1.5 cups.
