Easy Festive Salsa
In a large bowl combine corn, black beans, onion, tomato, jalapeno and cilantro.
While you could opt for a freeze dried cilantro…don’t.
Most stores keep fresh cilantro right in the vegetable aisles and its super cheap to get a ton.
Fresh cilantro is part of the deal when it comes to breaking down the barrier of an OK salsa and a WOW salsa.
Mix all your salsa ingredients super well to combine flavors.
Stir in oil, lime juice and spices and mix fully again to make sure there are no spices over concentrated in one area…that might make for a spicy bite!
Refrigerate this salsa recipe, preferably overnight, to let flavors mingle fully but you can also serve immediately if you need to.
Serve Black Bean and Corn Salsa Recipe with homemade tortilla chips or cut up tortillas.
