Black Bean Corn Salsa

Salsa does just not have to be served with the traditional tortilla chips anymore. This black bean corn salsa is a great addition to any meal, or dish. Best of all, it is a fat free and low calorie accompaniment.

Ingredients:
1 can black beans – drained and washed
1 can corn – drained
1/2 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup diced jalapenos
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 large tomatoes – diced
2 cloves garlic – chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Wash all your veggies, drain all your canned goods, and cut as described. Combine all into a plastic or glass container.

Chill in the refrigerator at least 8 hours, or overnight, before serving.

Tip From Chef Bek:
Do not use a metal container to store the salsa. The acids in the lime juice and tomatoes will have a reaction with the metal.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve with warm tortilla chips.
Serve as a sauce for fresh fish.
Wrap in a warm tortilla with chicken, sliced avocado, and lettuce.
Place inside a breakfast omelet.
Add to a bed of mixed greens with some crushed tortilla chips.
