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.

    Oh my gosh!!! I made this and almost ate half of it. I was just tasting it and couldn’t stop eating it. The dip hasn’t even had a chance to ‘meld’ in the fridge. Yummy!!!!

    This was a great recipe. The only thing I omitted was the cilantro, but everything else was just as the recipe was written. My husband and I both loved it. My husband even suggested maybe adding a few drops of liquid smoke for a slight smokey flavor might make it interesting. Thanks, again, for all of your delicious recipes and for a great blog!

    Ooh! I am going to try this! Your recipes never disappoint, so I’m sure I’ll love it! And I agree about your tablecloth. I’ve been looking at our thrift stores and antique stores trying to find one like it! It’s so pretty!
