This Black Bean and Corn Salsa is such a versatile recipe. It’s great for parties when you need an appetizer idea – just mix it up and serve it with tortilla chips!

This Black Bean and Corn Salsa also makes a great addition to dinner when you use it as a salsa on top of fish, chicken, pork, or beef. One of my favorite ways to use this salsa in a meal is with tortilla-crusted fish or chicken and to serve it with a side of Mexican Rice or Cilantro-Lime Rice. It makes for a simple and delicious dinner idea!
To make this Black Bean and Corn Salsa, you’ll start by adding the beans and veggies to a big bowl. Aren’t they so pretty together?! I love all the different colors and textures!
Next, whip together the simple dressing. Be sure to give it a taste and add more salt and/or pepper, if necessary.
Pour the dressing over the beans and veggies in the bowl and give it a stir. For better flavor, you’re going to want to let this Black Bean and Corn Salsa chill in the fridge for a bit. Give it a good stir again just before serving. Mmmmmm!

Thank you for all of the work you put into your recipes, and all of the wonderful things that happen behind the scenes that help you help us 🙂
I must be blind because for the life of me, I see NO mention in the recipe of the amounts of corn and black beans!
Thank you for letting me know there was a problem with ingredients missing – I recently moved over to a different recipe card and it must have missed some of the stuff. I have updated the card to show the correct ingredients and measurements!
