Salsa is the #1 condiment. No wonder. I made this doozie yesterday and found three ways to incorporate it into three different meals. It’s made with black beans, corn (from leftover corn on the cob-can’t beat the freshness), and onions as a base with some garlic, lime juice, and cilantro kicked in for good measure. I used it as a salsa for fish tacos last night, which my husband says were “really good”. I topped my salad at lunch today with the salsa and a few other veggies I had on-hand. I plan to add the rest to a homemade vegetable soup with dinner tonight. The salsa would also taste good added to tomato soup or a chicken and rice soup, I bet. I also think you could add avocado to the salsa if you like it. mmmMMMmmm!
Recipe follows! Enjoy it…
- 1 can black beans, rinsed well
- 1 onion, diced (I used vidalia, but any onion would do)
- 1 clove garlic, diced
- 1/2 large ear of corn, remove kernels with a knife and roughly chop into chunks (ok to use the whole ear if you please)
- 1 small handful cilantro, rinsed, dried, and chopped
- juice from 1/2 lime
- 3 jalapeno slices, diced (from jar, but ok to use 1/4 fresh jalapeno)
Combine ingredients in a medium bowl and mix with a spatula. Allow flavors to blend with 2-hour refrigeration before use.
Let me know what you think! If you have other ideas for using the salsa share them here.
