Tips:

  • Select ripe and fresh black beans. Look for beans that are plump and have a shiny, black color. Avoid beans that are wrinkled or have brown spots.
  • Use a variety of corn. You can use fresh, frozen, or canned corn for this recipe. If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. The black beans and corn should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Use a good quality salsa. Choose a salsa that has a good balance of flavors, with a bit of heat, sweetness, and acidity.
  • Season the salsa to taste. Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste until the salsa reaches your desired flavor profile.
