IMG_5441

This is a delicious salsa that can be eaten with tortilla or pita chips.  It is also great on tacos or alongside any other Mexican food as a salad.  The recipe is a conglomeration of several recipes I have tried.  Enjoy!

Recipe: Black Bean Salsa

From the Kitchen of: Emily Nelson

Yield: about 6 cups

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 c. sliced green onions (about 3)
  • 1 small bag frozen corn kernels
  • 2 cans canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 c. chopped tomatoes (or however many you like)
  • 2 jalapenos, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 bunch of cilantro, chopped
  • the juice on 2 lemons and 2 limes
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 large yellow or white onion, diced finely
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 1/4 c. vegetable oil

Directions: Mix all ingredients together. Serve with chips or whatever you want. It is delicious. NOTE: Do not add black pepper even though it might seem like a good idea.  It ruins this salsa, in my opinion!

  3. If I'm making this in advance (36 hours)... should I wait to add avocado until the morning I am going to use it?
