This cherry tomato corn salsa is as easy as can be and a great appetizer when served with gluten-free tortilla chips. Filled with corn, black beans, tomatoes and more - you can't go wrong. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan.

Salsa basically just means “sauce” in Spanish. That vague description alone should tell you that there are many, many, many different types of salsas. And I’m always looking for new recipes.

While my favorite is typically pico de gallo, I also love my strawberry jalapeno salsa for summer and have been putting it on everything. But sometimes, I find I need a savory recipe instead.

The other day, I was really in the savory salsa mood (Not to be confused with plain ol’ salsa mood because I’m always in the salsa mood) so I started looking around in my refrigerator and pantry to see what I could create my salsa with. After a short ten minutes, I was on the couch eating some delicious salsa and chips.

That’s exactly what I love about salsa, you can literally go rummage through your pantry and come up with some kind of recipe. Have some mangoes? Throw those in there. How about a can of green chiles? Yep, those too! Maybe some diced avocado? Yes, please!

This recipe includes fresh cherry tomatoes, cilantro and red onions with a few pantry staples – corn and black beans. It was a snap to whip up, and gets better as it marinates in the refrigerator.

Leftovers were so flavorful the next day on top of some chicken for lunch. This salsa would be a great party dip or served along side your dinner. The fresh components of the salsa really stand out and make this a vibrant and tasty dish. I personally love how the cherry tomatoes burst in your mouth with each bite!

  1. Megan, your photos are so gorgeous! This looks awesome. I’m so sad that summer is winding down, but I am going to make this while I can still get fresh veggies!

    1. Thanks so much Sara! Do you ever go to the Green City Farmers Market? I’ve been finding great tomatoes there this summer 🙂

    1. Hi Nancy, Yes drain the can of corn. You can use frozen, too. Just let it thaw or steam it and then drain it before using.
