Corn and Black Bean Salsa Aka Cowboy Salsa image

This is a refreshing salsa that can be served as an appetizer with tortilla chips (lime flavored are really good), as a salad or over rice. Quick and easy, amounts are approximate. I have used canned diced tomatoes when fresh tomatoes are not as tasty.

Tips:

Choose fresh, sweet corn. Look for ears with tightly packed, plump kernels and bright green husks.
Remove the husks and silks just before cooking. This will help the corn stay moist and flavorful.
Cook the corn over medium-high heat. This will help prevent the kernels from drying out.
Season the corn with your favorite seasonings. Some popular options include butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Serve the corn immediately. This is when it is at its best flavor and texture.
