Corn & Black Bean Salsa

With the added avocado, this salsa is on its way to becoming a guacamole, which we think is just the right place to be. Serve with tortilla chips or on top of your favorite summer fish!


Ingredients:

  • 2 ears of fresh corn, cut off the cob

  • 2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped

  • 1 bell pepper, chopped (red or orange)

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • Olive oil to taste

  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (optional)
