I love Summer so much! I am not a cold weather person at all-I enjoy so many aspects of the season and hanging out with friends is one of my favorites. I made this salsa this past Saturday night. We went over to our friends Julie & Kevin's patio for a very impromptu get together. I told Julie I'll bring a little something to nibble on. I always have these ingredients on hand so out came the can opener, chef's knife & cutting board. I put it together in no time! I love this salsa because it is really versatile, it can be a dip or relish for grilled meat or fish. It's also a great base for a quick lunch or dinner; add some rice or pasta & grilled chicken or shrimp. My suggestion if you do you this-increase the dressing amounts until it's coated to your liking.
1 can whole kernel corn-drained
1 can black beans-rinsed & drained
1/2 c. red onion chopped
1/2 c. black olives chopped
1 small tomato chopped
2 green onions chopped
1 jalapeno pepper chopped
1/2 c. chopped green, red, orange or yellow pepper-use whatever you have don't stress!
1/2 c. cilantro chopped
1 clove garlic minced
Dressing
2 T. olive oil
juice of 1 lime
1 T. honey
1 t. cumin
1 t. salt-I use kosher
1/4 t. cayenne pepper
1/4 t. black pepper
Whisk together dressing ingredients and set aside. Put all chopped ingredients in a bowl & toss together with dressing. Taste and adjust seasonings. Chill and serve with tortilla chips.
