Instructions

  • Combine 15 oz black beans, 2 cups corn, 1 cup diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup diced red onion, 1 cup diced red bell pepper, 1 jalapeño pepper, and 1/4 cup cilantro in a large bowl.
  • Add 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Corn: Fresh corn has the best flavor, but canned or frozen works. Drain canned corn or thaw frozen before using.
  • Salt: Taste the salsa with a chip before adding more salt. Tortilla chips are often salty on their own.
  • Storage: Keeps refrigerated for up to 4 days. Stir before serving.
