Easy Corn and Black Bean Salsa

 

 

One delicious recipe I’ve made multiple times since the first of the year is a super easy and very tasty homemade salsa. It’s so much better than I could have ever imagined. After making my own salsa for the first time, theres no way I’m ever going back to store bought. This tastes so much better.

As a family we’re trying hard to be healthier. We’ve slipped quite a bit around the holidays with all the tasty food and delicious desserts, but as the New Year rolled in, we’ve been making it a point to eat healthy, more nutritious foods. In all honestly, it really isn’t very hard. My husband is a great motivation because when he sets his mind to something, there’s no stopping him. Without his willingness and eagerness to try new foods and healthier recipes, I probably would have a much harder time making the change.

The Easy Corn and Black Bean Salsa I’ve been making contains just 5 ingredients. Tomatoes, Onions, Corn, Black Beans and Garlic Salt. That’s it! Some extra ingredients I’ve tried that also work are dried parsley or cilantro and mango chunks. I also love eating it with some avocado on the side. So good! My sister has used my base recipe, but added in some pineapple. If you like a little sweetness, it’s a great idea to add a little fruit. Whether you add to it or not, I can assure you, this salsa is really good!

Let me tell you. This salsa is a must-try. I can never get my girls to eat beans. Which is why I fooled them into eating them with my Fudgy Black Bean Brownies (which they loved). But, for some reason, they’ll eat this salsa – beans and all! And it’s not like the beans are hidden. They just realized that it actually tastes good.
