Nothing from a jar is EVER as fresh and tasty as home made salsa... and if you can chop a tomato and open a can, you can make this super delicious salsa in about 15 minutes!
Great with chips, but also fantastic served over grilled chicken, fish or steak, inside tacos, with quesadillas, or as we had it tonight.. with grilled peaches and jalapeno-mango chicken sausages!! YUM! Lets get started...
You'll need corn, at least 2 cups (fresh or frozen, though fresh is better), 1 can of black beans, about half of a red onion diced, at least a half cup of chopped jalapeno (or more to taste, though this was the perfect amount of heat), about 3-4 cloves garlic chopped (which means I used about 4-5), and 3 medium or 2 large chopped fresh tomatoes, and fresh cilantro!
Throw the corn, and beans into a big mixing bowl. Simply chop up the other ingredients and add in. I used a chopper for the peppers and garlic, but a knife for the rest, so you get nice pieces and not a pulverized soupy salsa. Last, add at least a half cup (or more) of fresh cilantro leaves.
The stems can be sorta slimy, so I just rip off the leaves, and throw it right in the bowl! You can omit the cilantro if you want, but your salsa might be a little sad...you could freshen it up with parsley if you want... but it wont be the same.
Last, I keep it all fresh and clean by adding the juice of one lime and a few pinches of salt (about half to a quarter teaspoon). That's it, that's all! So tangy, sweet and a little heat to keep you coming back for more.
