How to Make Black Bean And Red Pepper Salsa

  1. Finely dice the red bell pepper (1 large).
  2. Mince the red onion (1/2 medium).
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the diced red bell pepper, minced red onion, black beans (1 (15-ounce) can, rinsed and drained), corn (1 cup, frozen or canned), chopped cilantro (1/4 cup), lime juice (2 tablespoons), olive oil (1 tablespoon), and cumin (1 teaspoon).
  4. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lime juice for extra zest or a pinch of chili powder for a spicier kick.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for later. This salsa tastes even better after the flavors have had a chance to meld in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
