SPICY BEAN AND CORN SALSA SIDE



Spicy Bean and Corn Salsa Side image

Our whole family loves this quick and easy side dish. I serve it with tacos, sloppy joes, or picnic meals... Great for potlucks because you serve it cold. Easily adjusted to your individual taste by using your favorite salsa. I often double this for church potlucks or company - it makes a lot to serve as a side and stretch a meal. I usually skip the onions and peppers when making it for guests. I rated this myself for ease and because it is a go-to recipe in my house.

Tips:

  • Roast the corn: Roasting the corn adds a delicious smoky flavor. You can roast the corn on a grill, in the oven, or under a broiler. Just be sure to roast the corn until the kernels are slightly charred.
  • Use a variety of peppers: This recipe calls for jalapeños and serrano peppers, but you can use any type of pepper that you like. Just be sure to adjust the amount of peppers you use depending on your desired level of spiciness.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and lime juice, add a bright, refreshing flavor to the salsa. Be sure to chop the herbs finely before adding them to the salsa.
  • Serve immediately: This salsa is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
