How to Make Black Bean Fresh Corn Salsa

  1. Shuck the corn and cut the kernels off the cob (about 2 cups).
  2. Place corn kernels in a small saucepan with 1/4 cup of water.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  4. Drain the corn and set aside to cool slightly.
  5. While the corn cooks, dice 1 cup of tomatoes, 1/2 cup of red onion, and 1-2 jalapeños (seeded and minced, to your spice preference).
  6. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked corn, diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeños, 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 ripe avocado (diced), and the juice of 1 lime.
  7. Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy!
