Tell Me About This Corn Black Bean & Avocado Salsa

  • Texture: For texture lovers, this salsa is a dream come true. There’s something different in every single bite which makes it hard (actually IMPOSSIBLE) to stop eating it. You’ll never get bored!
  • Flavor: You’ll enjoy many different flavors like salty, tangy, and a little bit sweet from the corn. Plus, the lime juice gives it incredible zing. There’s a hint of heat from cayenne pepper and jalapeño, but I consider this to be a mild salsa.
  • Ease: This is a very easy dip, salsa, and side dish recipe because everything goes into 1 bowl. Mix it up and you’re done. Like homemade pesto, this is a “hardly a recipe” recipe because it’s so very simple.
  • Time: Total prep time is 10 minutes. It tastes best after at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, which gives the flavors a chance to mingle and infuse one another.

You’ll mix everything together in a large bowl. Most of the time will be spent chopping!
