A sweet and tangy black bean and corn salsa is a great summer appetizer. Easy and delicious for parties!

black bean and corn salsa

Well, I just couldn’t wait any longer, I had to make something kind of summery.

No, we can’t do a barbecue yet, and it’s too cold to go out without a winter coat, but I had to make a fresh and summery appetizer. This black  bean and corn salsa is so easy to make, and since it’s full of veggies, it’s a fresh and nutritious appetizer. The red peppers, yellow corn, and green onions make this a very pretty and colorful dip to have on your table, so it will be perfect for those summer parties!

The vinegar, olive oil, and sugar dressing does improve after some time in the fridge, but if you can’t wait, it still tastes good right after you mix it up. (Ask me how I know this).  What? No, that wasn’t me hovering over the bowl eating this with chips two seconds after I mixed it up. :)

Now I’m really ready for it to warm up here! Although we also have to finish up our patio before that can happen. It’s a bit of a mess right now. We sort of started a project that didn’t get finished before winter hit. But that won’t be too hard, and then we can sit out there with a bowl of this dip and a bag of chips.

Sweet and tangy black bean and corn salsa is an easy dip that's a real crowd pleaser!

Are you so ready for summer, too?

    This is not nightshade free, that tag should probably be removed…

    Cook 1 cup dry veggie rotini. Add to 1 cup salsa. Yummy. Enough for 2 servings.

    It looks so good and it’s so easy to make. Can’t wait for the summer as well, it’s almost April and we got snow yesterday (Toronto, Canada)… not fun anymore!
