Black Beans and Corn Salsa

Beans and corn are a large part of the Mexican cuisine. Salsa is a part of the Mexican meal either as a side dish or an appetizer. There are varieties of Mexican salsa. Today, I will introduce an easy black beans corn salsa. During the summer, fresh corn is the best choice. However, the organic frozen corn which sells at Costco is very good . I like to cook my beans. I use a pressure cooker, and it takes just 10 minutes. Use black beans in a can, if there is no time for fresh beans.

Ingredients;
1 cup cooked black beans
1 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup red onion, diced
2 tbs chopped cilantro
1 small jalapeno, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 tbs lemon juice
1/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbs olive oil or avocado oil
2 tbs Italian dressing

Directions:
Bring a small pot of water to boil and blanch the frozen corn for a minute. Drain well.
In a mixing bowl, combine corn and the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate for a few hours.
Serve by itself or with some corn chips.
