If you are wanting a healthy snack with some spice this weekend, you need to make this Corn and Black Bean Salsa recipe! This salsa takes a few minutes to make or you can whip this up the night before. Loaded with protein and veggies so you can snack guilt-free. 

This salsa is packed with fresh vegetables, beans, corn and a hint of sriracha to add spice. You’ll love how light and refreshing this dip is and it’s dressed with a simple oil and vinegar dressing and topped with creamy slices of avocado.

INGREDIENTS

  • Black beans: pinto beans will work great with this recipe too. 
  • Corn: you can use fresh or canned corn kernels. 
  • Green bell pepper: you can use any color such as orange, yellow, or red. 
  • Cherry tomatoes: you could also use diced Roma tomatoes.
  • Cucumber
  • Shallot
  • Garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Parsley
  • Sriracha: add as much or as little as you prefer.
  • Salt + pepper
  • Avocado: you can slice them on top or cube them and mix them with the dip. If you do cube the avocados and add them to the dip, they will turn brown overnight in the dip.
  • Chips to dip: you can also dip with sliced cucumbers, bell peppers or celery sticks for an even healthier alternative. 

HOW TO MAKE BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALSA

  1. Mix together all of the ingredients until combined. Add to a serving dish and serve with chips or use a topping for steak, chicken or pork. 
  2. Optional: place the dip in the refrigerator for 1 hour to over night to let the flavors soak in.

Spicy Cowboy Caviar Dip

This Black Bean and Corn Salsa Recipe reminds me of a delicious Pico de Gallo with more veggies and flavor. You can use this Black Bean and Corn Salsa recipe for so many recipes and occasions. Add a few scoops to your chicken, steak, pork dish, baked potato, salad or just enjoy as is as a dip with chips (or veggies).

This salsa also makes a super simple side dish that’s packed with protein. Add this to your Taco Tuesday night menu along with my Homemade Guacamole and Pico de Gallo. For a healthy Taco Tuesday Night, make my Taco Lettuce Wraps for a guilt-free dinner. Everyone will love this idea!

I prefer to enjoy this dip with tortilla chips as they make the perfect match. There is so much crunchiness, flavor and freshness from this salsa you can enjoy this year-round. This is also a great game day snack to have especially if you are wanting a healthier option.
