This is one of the first salsas we served at the Inn and it is
still on the "menu". We like to present the salsa by placing a ring of sliced
tomatoes on a plate; drizzle some olive oil on the tomatoes; sprinkle with coarse salt and
freshly ground pepper. We mound the salsa inside the tomatoes and grind a little more
pepper. A little Tabasco or chopped jalapeño pepper finishes this salsa with style.
CORN AND BLACK BEAN SALSA
INGREDIENTS:
1 can black beans
1 can whole kernel corn
1 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
2 tbsp. finely chopped cilantro
½ red onion, finely chopped
Juice from 1 lemon
1 Roma tomato, chopped
METHOD
Drain beans and corn and wash in a colander. It is important that the beans
and corn are well washed and drained. If not, the salsa will be soggy. Shake all water off
and let stand several minutes. Mix all ingredients.
