How to make Black Bean and Corn Salsa?
To make this salsa you can use either fresh corn or frozen ones. I like to fresh kernels as they are easily available in India. Just boil the kernels until that are soft and good to eat. You can also boil the kernels in some broth to enhance the flavour.
I used canned black beans to make this salsa. Make sure to rinse them well before adding.
Since mangoes were in season, I added a few. They go very well in this salsa. You can also try adding kiwi, pineapple, persimmons etc.
Bell Peppers gives a nice crunch and I highly recommend adding them.
Now make a simple dressing using lemon juice, salt and pepper and add it in the salsa.
You can also make an Italian dressing for this salsa too.
