Black Bean and Corn Salsa (VIDEO)

Published June 28, 2019 | Julia Frey (Vikalinka)

Jump to Recipe

This black bean and corn salsa with cherry tomatoes, red onions, lime juice and chillies is a real winner when it comes to adding serious flavour into your meals!

If you are a fan of corn in your salads, you will also love this Italian Salad with Tuna, Corn and Mozzarella.

I can’t believe it took me so long to share one of my favourite things to eat with you friends! However, summer is upon us, and since even England is reluctantly warming up, it calls for colourfully fresh outdoor dining.

 

This salsa, made with corn, black beans and tomatoes, is something that appears on our table any season of the year but tastes best in the summer when the tomatoes are ripe and flavourful.

 Black Bean and Corn Salsa Ingredients

This salsa comes in many variations as long as there are major players present. 

  • black beans
  • corn
  • cilantro
  • garlic
  • chillies
  • lime juice

Occasionally I also add ripe tomatoes, avocados and diced red onion to my black bean and corn salsa. You can also substitute chickpeas or any other beans for black beans. 

Another tip to elevate the flavour of this simple Mexican salsa recipe is to use grilled corn instead of the canned variety.

Serving suggestions

  • You can use this corn and bean salsa as a filling for your tacos, burritos and fajitas.
  • You can also can also eat it as a salad.
  • My kids call it a dip because they were scooping it up with tortilla chips.

Whatever you call it, this simple salsa recipe is  bursting with flavours, vitamins, and is out-of-this-world delicious.

This Mexican salad is truly a flavour winner and packed with power foods like black beans and vegetables. My kids were scarfing it down, having completely forgotten that they can’t stand tomatoes! Black Bean and Corn Pico de Gallo

    This is so delicious!! Simple, but flavorful. I made it yesterday, put in on tortilla along with some quinoa for a taco-styled lunch. Loved it. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
