Salsa, Corn and Black Bean Salad

A summer BBQ is a wonderful opportunity to experiment with new recipes. I took a variation of our family favorite Salsa recipe and added some barbequed corn and a can of black beans and turned our salsa recipe into a delicious and refreshing salad. This is a great dish to take to a summer potluck.

Ingredients

2-3 cups fresh tomatoes (1 cup blended and 1 cup chopped in small chunks)
4 garlic cloves pressed
2 red onions chopped fine
2 jalapeños chopped fine
1-2 cups cilantro chopped fine
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp cumin
1/3 cup lime juice
2 cobs fresh corn cooked on the BBQ-cut off the cob
1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve as a side dish for fajitas or carne asada or as a side salad for barbequed burgers.

What fun new salad recipes have you tried this summer?
