Quick Bites - Corn & Black Bean Salsa

Hello all and welcome back to another brand new Quick Bite from Nikoli's Kitchen! These short episodes are all about one quick recipe for me to break down for you to listen to. Stay tuned for Monday's episode where I talk about the first-ever random recipe challenge and what I made, including hot dogs in a risotto! Thank you so much for your patience as I wade through the insanity that is my life to get back to releasing regular content. I appreciate all of your amazing support. 

 

Please check out 2 Girls on a Bench, a hilarious comedy podcast from the amazing Tricia & Siana, at https://twogirlsonabench.podbean.com/! This was a recipe they had me make on the air last year during the Livestream for the Cure and I've been in love with it ever since. Thank you so much!

 

Corn & Black Bean SNICK Salsa:

2 cups or 1 can of whole kernel corn, drained and rinsed
2 cups or 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 sweet pepper, chopped 
1 red onion, chopped
12 cloves of garlic, minced
6 roma tomatoes, chopped
2 Jalapeño peppers, chopped
3 cups of fruit, chopped (see below)
2 limes, juiced
Salt & pepper
Chili Powder
Hot Sauce (optional)
Chopped cilantro
Avocado, chopped (see below)

All of your fruits and vegetables should be chopped to the same rough size. Prepare this about 24 hours or more in advance to allow the ingredients to come together.
Combine corn, black beans, peppers, onions, garlic, and tomatoes in a large bowl (in the episode art for this quick bite I didn't have tomatoes so I omitted them, but I typically make it with them).
Add your fruit- I typically do three different varieties and I have used apples, pineapple, mango, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries in this in alternating varieties of the salsa. Pick three fruits, and use one cup of each.
Add lime juice, salt, pepper, chili powder, hot sauce, and cilantro as desired or to taste.
Mix together until well-combined and refrigerate.

Avocado is part of the normal recipe and was in the original version that I made- I would, however, not recommend adding avocado when combining the rest of the ingredients together. It will make the salsa mushy and will inevitably turn brown. If you want to add avocado, when you get a portion of this to eat, add the avocado over the top.
