Easy Corn and Black Bean Salsa

This is another one for the football buffet. This salsa is super simple to throw together. It makes a beautiful, colorful addition to any party buffet. It's so delicious, you have to try it!


  • 1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 can corn (drained)
  • 2 cans petite diced tomatoes with the juice (or 4-6 fresh tomatoes)
  • 1 can Hot Rotel with the juice
  • 1 very thinly sliced green onion (or more to your taste)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 lime (juiced) 
  • 1-2 garlic cloves (finely minced)
Mix well and refrigerate until chilled - overnight is best. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping or as a topping salsa for chicken or fish. It's also great heated and served over rice as a side dish - I know, it was one of my side dishes made from the leftovers this week.


This is one that will definitely be making an appearance at my house often, especially for any parties, buffets or pot lucks I attend! It's healthy and delicious - the best of both worlds!

  11. This has become my favorite salsa, even more than pico de gallo or traditional tomato based salsas.

  12. I've bookmarked this as it looks just like (well, actually it looks better than) a favourite salsa that we buy. I just love corn in my salsa. This looks so fresh and delicious!
