Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

I have lost track of how many times I have made this black bean salsa.  It has been my go to appetizer and party dip for a long time. Whenever I am asked to bring something to a potluck, I whip up a batch of this delicious salsa  And every time I make it, I am asked for the recipe.  That is always a sign that the recipe is definitely a keeper.

Not only is it delicious but the colors are so pretty!  I love the contrast of the yellow corn against the black beans.

    I made this two nights ago for my husband who is a big fan of bean and corn salsa. I used a comparable amount of Trader Joe’s Hatch Valley Salsa in lieu of Herdez. It provided a nice touch of warmth. My husband loved this and has been savoring it by the spoonful. Who needs chips?

    As a side note, I enjoy your recipes very much. They are easy, approachable and quickly become part of my tried and true list. Thanks!
