Black Bean and Corn Salsa Recipe

A holiday weekend often means time for great get-togethers with family and friends.  My family was invited to a cookout this weekend, so that also means time to figure out what to take.  I knew I wanted to make a fresh and healthy side. Salsa came to mind, and this recipe is all those things plus easy too!

What I created was a hit! So check out the (easy-peasy) recipe for my fave Black Bean and Corn Salsa.

Be sure to rinse and drain the black beans first.

What’s the best way to cut that cilantro?  Here’s how I like to do it (if you have super sharp kitchen shears, those work too. Just snip them right in)

How to Cut Cilantro

1. Pick off just the leaves.
2. Roll them up in a bundle.
3. Then cut vertically.
4. You may need to do a second cut horizontally.
