Ingredients

  • 1 (15-oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15-oz) can sweet corn, drained and rinsed (or 2 cups fresh or frozen, defrosted)
  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion
  • 4 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 1 small jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
  • ¼ cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1-2 juicy limes)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, stirring to combine.
  • Taste and add additional salt or jalapeno to taste.
  • Optional: Allow to sit for a minimum of 15 minutes for the flavors to combine, longer if time allows.

Notes

  • Spice Level: If you don't want it spicy, skip the jalapenos. Or double it for a spicier kick.
    Cilantro is Optional: I love this dip with cilantro, but if you can’t stand the taste, feel free to leave it out.
  • With Rotel: Swap in 1 (10-oz) can petite diced tomatoes with green chilis (such as Rotel), well drained for the Roma tomatoes, if tomatoes are out of season.
  • Serving Size: This recipe makes 5 cups of salsa, or 10 servings of 1/2 cup each.
