BETH'S FRESH BLACK BEAN & CORN
SALSA
 
This salsa is outstanding as a dip for tortilla chips or to accompany fish or chicken tacos, or any other dish that salsa goes with. The key is to use fresh uncooked corn... canned corn just does not have that fresh sweetness that makes this salsa so good!

2 (15 oz. ea.) cans black beans (regular, no spices), drained
5 to 6 cobs fresh sweet corn
1 (8 oz.) pkg. grape tomatoes
2 firm medium to large limes (more juice)
1/2 bunch cilantro
1 bunch green onions
1/2 small yellow onion
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced finely
4 to 5 fresh garlic cloves
olive oil

Clean all vegetables. Slice kernels (uncooked) off corn cobs. Chop green and yellow onions finely. Halve grape tomatoes.

In a large bowl add corn, onions, tomatoes and jalapeno. Rinse black beans well and add to salsa vegetables. Juice limes and add to vegetables. Crush garlic cloves and mix in. Add just enough olive oil to mixture to coat lightly and mix.

"Marinate" fresh salsa for several hours in refrigerator for best flavor!
