Kate's Black Bean and Corn Salsa-licious
This is my super secret recipe that I have decided to reluctantly share. It is quite addictive and worth sharing, but I must advise whomever makes this, you must follow the steps and use fresh ingredients, or it will not be the same. For instance, part of the recipe includes, not only the juice of a lime and half of a lemon, but the zest. If your feeling lazy and omit the zest, it will not yield the same delicious result. If you don't have a zester, use the fine grate of a cheese grater, for God's sake! This recipe has quite a few ingredients but I guarantee, you will love it if your a fan of salsa.
Ingredients:
15 oz. can black beans-drained and rinsed well
11 oz. can white shoepeg corn-drained (I recommend Green Giant)
3 Roma tomatoes chopped
1 medium red onion chopped
Small jalapeno-minced fine (omit seeds if you don't like it spicy)
Juice AND zest of one lime
Juice AND zest of 1/2 lemon
1 T. garlic salt
1/ t. ground cumin
1/4 t. cayenne pepper
1/2 t. red pepper flakes
1/2 t. fresh ground pepper
1 heaping T. chopped fresh cilantro
2 heaping T. chopped fresh basil
1/2 c. light olive oil or canola oil
Blend all ingredients. Serve with tortilla chips, I recommend the Tostito's Scoops to hold in all the goodness.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (drool)
