- Variations —
- Corn — I used frozen corn that has been thawed, but you can also use canned corn that is drained, or fresh corn that has been cooked and cut from the cob. I also really like this recipe prepared with canned and drained shoepeg corn or white corn!
- Cilantro– You can chop and use both the leaves and stems in the salsa as they both have the same delicious flavor. This makes it easy to chop quickly!
- Red onion– I prefer red for flavor and color, but you can substitute yellow, white, or sweet onion here.
- Jalapeño– This is optional ingredient and will allow you to control the heat.
- in the refrigerator for up to a week days
- in the freezer up to 3 months
- Black Bean Corn Avocado Salsa – To add avocado this salsa is simple. Just dice one avocado and toss it with 1 tsp vegetable oil to coat. Then stir it into the salsa mixture.
- Black Bean Corn Green Chile Salsa– Add 1 4 oz can of diced green chiles to the prepared salsa to add southwest flavor of green chiles!.
- Black Bean Corn Tomato Salsa– If you want a more traditional red salsa with black beans and corn in it, cut the ingredients all in half, then prepare as directed. Mix this black bean salsa mixture into 2 cups of your favorite red salsa recipe.
