Corn and Black Bean Salsa
We’re having our son’s 8th birthday party this weekend and it’s walking tacos (his favorite meal) and although I adore those scrumptious creations, I also thoroughly adore fresh salsa. And since I’ll have my mom, sister and some more girly-girls here to help me devour it, I just had to whip this one up, and I am so glad I did!
Some items that I used for this recipe:
Let me show you how to make it.
First off, combine your chopped tomatoes, black beans and corn in the colander and give it a good rinse.
Next, gather your cilantro. Can we talk for just a second about how big these cilantro leaves are? Holy mother Mary!
Remove the leaves from your cilantro stalks and chop them up. I have this herb chopper and love it. It’s sharp and you use a rocking motion to cut the herbs. No fingers being cut off here. I guess it’s real name is a mezzaluna…
Combine everything with a little more spice and juices and you’re ready to rock ‘n roll!
