Flavor Booster: For extra flavor, roast or grill the corn before cutting it off the cob.

Using frozen corn? No problem, place it under the broiler for a few minutes to give it a little color. Be sure to cool the corn before adding to the recipe.

  • Drain beans and corn, or if using frozen defrost first.
  • Place all of the ingredients (per recipe below) in a large bowl.
  • Mix well and refrigerate for an hour before serving.

Leftovers

How to Store Salsa

Black bean corn salsa tastes best when it’s chilled so keep leftovers in a tightly covered container or a mason jar in the refrigerator. Due to its acidic nature, it will keep for up to a week. Refresh by adding a pinch of salt to it before serving.

Can You Freeze Salsa?

Salsa can definitely be frozen, but be sure to leave a little space at the top because it will expand during the freezing process. It will keep fresh for up to 3 months.
