Black Bean and Corn Salsa can be served as a dipping salsa with tortilla chips,
pita chips or corn chips, as a vegetable side dish and any other number of ways. While most salsa recipes contain tomatoes and/or tomato sauce, onion and cilantro, this lively salsa recipe combines black beans, kernel corn, tomatoes, red bell pepper, diced green chiles and fresh chopped cilantro, giving it unique and delightful flavor and texture, not to mention vibrant color! This festive mixture is then lightly seasoned and tossed with freshly squeezed lime juice, giving it a fresh and tangy citrus flair.
This salsa couldn't be easier to put together (as you can see by the length of the recipe directions). If you're looking for a fresh salsa recipe to serve at a party or event, this one (along with pita chips, tortilla chips and/or corn chips) will certainly impress!
