The best way to eat homemade Mexican food is topped with this fresh and healthy Corn, Avocado and Black Bean Salsa!

This black bean salsa is great as an appetizer or snack with some homemade guacamole and corn tortilla chips, but it’s also the perfect condiment to any Mexican main dish, especially my vegetarian tacos. I think you’re going to love it!

Black Bean Salsa Ingredients

In addition to the black beans, corn, and avocado, there are just a few simple, but flavorful ingredients in this easy homemade salsa recipe:

1 cup corn (fresh cooked or frozen)
1/3 cup finely diced red onion
1 large tomato, finely diced
1/3 cup black beans (canned)
1 avocado, chopped
1-2 tbsp chopped cilantro (to taste)
juice of 1 lime
a pinch or two of sea salt

To make:

Add the corn, avocado, tomato, black beans, and red onion to a large bowl.

Squeeze the lime juice over everything and sprinkle in the salt. Toss everything together really well and as you’re tossing, add the chopped cilantro.

Serve with corn tortilla chips for dipping, or serve alongside a main dish as a condiment (it’s perfect with any kind of soft tacos, fajitas, or even on salad with grilled meat or fish)!

The salsa is best when it’s served fresh, but if you have leftovers or want to chill it before serving, I suggest storing it in a mason jar.
