Corn Salsa

Corn Salsa

Our friend, Jess, brought this salsa over for a pot luck and it was an instant hit. We’ve made it countless times since and its always been a crowd pleaser. The best part…it requires no cooking! You simply chop and combine the ingredients.

The salsa is made up of a few ingredients:

Trader Joe’s Corn& Chili Salsa: This makes up the base of the mix and is slightly sweet from the corn.

Black Beans: The beans add a hearty and dense element to the salsa.

Plum tomatoes: These tomatoes are milder in acidity and have a lower moisture content which makes them more ideal for making salsas. They add a sweet and juicy flavor.

Red Onion & Jalapeño: Both these ingredients add a light spice and bright colors.

Avocado: Adds a great buttery and creamy texture.

Cilantro: Adds a fresh earthy lemon flavor that ties together all the ingredients.

It pairs well with any Mexican dish, with tortilla or plantain chips and even by the spoonful!

Ingredients:

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl combine the corn & chili salsa, black beans, red onion, tomatoes, jalapeño and cilantro
  2. Once it’s combined lightly fold in the avocado, try to avoid mashing the avocado
  3. And you’re done, enjoy!

This is our friend Jess who taught us this express salsa recipe! I didn’t capture a picture of us making the salsa together but you can tell we have a shared passion for good wine and food!
