Black Bean Salsa with Avocado
Tomato and lime juice flavor this bright, zesty salsa that is perfect for all your chips and dip needs!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
- 2 whole tomatoes one diced and one cut into large chunks
- 2 ears corn kernels scraped off (or one cup frozen corn kernels)
- 1 jalapeno diced (seeds removed for less heat)
- ¼ cup cilantro leaves
- 1 scallion green part sliced and white part reserved
- 1 lime zested and juiced
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¼ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Place the beans, chopped tomato, corn kernels, jalapeno, scallion greens, cilantro, and lime zest in a bowl.
- In a blender, puree the chunks of tomato, white part of the scallion, lime juice, sugar, salt, and olive oil until very smooth. Pour the dressing over the bean mixture and stir. You may want to start with half of the dressing if your tomato was very large.
- Taste the salsa for seasoning. Right before serving, cube the avocado and add it to the salsa.
- Serve with chips, over rice, or over greens as a salad. Enjoy!
Notes
To prep, add the avocado right before serving. The rest of the recipe can be made up to 2 days in advance.
