Happy Cooking!

• 1 can black beans – drained and washed
• 1 can corn – drained
• 1/2 cup diced red onion
• 1/4 cup diced jalapenos
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
• 2 large tomatoes – diced
• 2 cloves garlic – chopped
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Wash all your veggies, drain all your canned goods, and cut as described. Combine all into a plastic or glass container.

Chill in the refrigerator at least 8 hours, or overnight, before serving.

Tip From Chef Bek:

Do not use a metal container to store the salsa. The acids in the lime juice and tomatoes will have a reaction with the metal.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve with warm tortilla chips.
• Serve as a sauce for fresh fish.
• Wrap in a warm tortilla with chicken, sliced avocado, and lettuce.
• Place inside a breakfast omelet.
• Add to a bed of mixed greens with some crushed tortilla chips.
