My easy Black Bean Salsa recipe is perfect for a party!
Hi guys!
You can never have enough simple recipes that work great as something to enjoy at home, make for a party OR take out as your potluck dish when you get invited out. Bonus points if the recipe just happens to be healthy too.
This easy Black Bean Salsa recipe is perfect for all three with the bonus points. It is super versatile, tasty and you will never believe how easy it really is to make.
Why you'll love this easy Black Bean Salsa recipe...
This recipe is so great because it starts with simple canned black beans! I ALWAYS have a stash of cans in my pantry because of how many recipes use them. Whether it's my Black Bean Burgers, Black Bean and Avocado Quesadilla or even my Black Bean Soup... I go through several cans of them a week. They are great source of plant-based protein, taste yummy and make a great base for so many recipes. The boys even love them and will eat them by the handful.
What makes this easy salsa recipe special is the tasty additions!
To turn the humble canned black beans into salsa I add diced tomato, red onion, frozen corn, cilantro, and lime.
The final touch is a little cumin and garlic powder.
The result is a bit of heaven on a chip!
Serving this easy black bean salsa recipe with chips is the most obvious choice but it also is great in a quesadilla with cheese, on a salad or just as a side dish itself. The possibilities are endless really!
I enjoy making it in the beginning of the week and eating it for lunches in many different ways.

Happy anniversary to your "WUNDER"ful grandparents. That is a terrific milestone and something for you and your Hubs to aim toward, too.
Happy Tuesday to you as well.

Yes! Such a good goal! I wish the hubs and I would have met younger so we had the change to make it to 70, but we will go for as long as we have!
Have a great day!

70 years?! Wow! That's so amazing! I don't know very many people who have that chance! Happy anniversary to your grandparents! 🙂 This recipe looks so good! I eat a salad with whatever protein we prep at the beginning of each week plus salsa and avocado every single day. This would totally work for me.
