Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or thawed if frozen)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, and fresh cilantro. Pour the lime juice over the mixture and gently toss until all ingredients are evenly mixed and coated with the lime juice.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and intensify before serving.
Notes
- Using fresh lime juice gives the best flavor; bottled lime juice can be used in a pinch but may alter the taste slightly.
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeño or a pinch of chili powder.
- Serve with tortilla chips as a dip or use as a topping for grilled meats and salads.
- Can be made a few hours in advance and kept refrigerated.
- For added texture, consider adding diced avocado just before serving.
