Ingredients

  • 1.5-2 cups black beans (canned or cooked from dried)
  • 2 cups corn (canned or thawed/steamed from frozen)
  • 2 large tomatoes (2 cups diced)
  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped green onion
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 TBSP fresh lime juice plus extra to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Top with fresh-squeezed lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
  5. 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

  • No red onion? No problem! Since it's milder, you can use between 1 and 1.5 cups of diced white onion in this sassy salsa.
