Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15-ounce) can corn, drained and rinsed (or 2 cups fresh corn kernels)
  • 1/3 cup red onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons scallions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the black beans, corn, red onion, red bell pepper, scallions, and cilantro.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and toss until evenly coated.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend.
  6. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, burrito bowls, grilled chicken, or fish.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use grilled or roasted corn instead of canned corn.
  • Add diced jalapeño for a spicy kick.
  • Fresh lime juice provides the best flavor.
  • This salsa tastes even better after a few hours in the refrigerator.
  • Stir before serving, as some liquid may settle at the bottom.
  • Not recommended for freezing due to the fresh vegetables.
