• 2 tablespoons lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Open and rinse the black beans under cold water, then drain well. Place the beans in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the sweet corn to the bowl. If using canned corn, drain well. If using fresh or frozen corn, ensure it is cooked and cooled.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the bowl.

Step 5

Finely dice the red onion and add it to the mixture.

Step 6

Chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl along with the finely diced jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat, if desired).

Step 7

Drizzle the lime juice and olive oil over the mixture.

Step 8

Season the salsa with salt and black pepper, then gently toss everything together to combine. Be careful not to mash the avocados.

Step 9

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, as a side dish, or as a topping for tacos, grilled chicken, or fish.
