Refreshing homemade salsa with sweet corn and black beans....what could be better????

Here's a short quick and easy one for you....super tasty and healthy to boot! I love this recipe and I make it all the time when we have Mexican food at our house. It is great as a salad on its own, with tortilla chips, on top of tacos, quesadillas, fajitas....pretty much everything!!


1 medium sweet onion
4-6 roma tomatoes (ripe but firm)
1 medium red bell pepper (or any color you like)
1 cup frozen sweet corn
1 can organic black beans
1 bunch of cilantro (you may use less if cilantro is not your thang)
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
juice from 1 1/2-2 limes depending on how tangy you want it
1 jalapeno (optional)



Chop the onion, tomatoes,red bell pepper,(jalapeno) up into small bits (the size of a pomegranate seed), thinly chop up the cilantro and put everything into a large bowl. Drain 1 can of blackbeans and add 1 cup of frozen corn directly into salsa. Squeeze the juice of 1 1/2 -2 limes directly into the bowl. Season with sugar, salt and pepper. Toss well with a large spoon, cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours and you are ready to serve. It is that simple!!! So much flavor and freshness am I sure you will not be able to stop eating this. After you make this, you're not going to want to buy salsa in the jars at the grocery store again. Another variation is to used grilled (BBQ) corn in the summertime to give it an extra flair.
