Black Bean Salsa or Cowboy Caviar as it is also called, is a colorful blend of crunchy veggies and black beans in a tangy dressing. Serve as a side dish or with tortilla chips for a fabulous, healthy appetizer.
I make a big batch and keep it in the fridge and serve with dinner or as a great snack. It tastes even better the next day when all the flavors mingle.
In this recipe I used fresh grilled corn since it is in season now and so delicious. Grilling it adds a delicious smoky flavor to this dish.
If you can’t get a hold of fresh corn on the cob, frozen or canned corn works as well. This way you can enjoy this dish all year round!
