I'll give you the bare truth. I don't really enjoy jarred salsa much at all. It's just too easy to make your own and adapt it to what you feel like that day. This is a perfect base for a yummy salsa good on it's own, but also very fun to play with. G... More

  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 medium red onion diced
  • Good bunch of cilantro, leaves plucked from stems
  • 1 Tsbp cumin
  • 2 Tbsp chili powder (regular, chipotle - whatever you're feeling)
  • 1-2 Tbsp garlic salt

Directions
  1. Toss frozen corn into large mixing bowl
  2. Pour cans of tomatoes over the corn
  3. Pour drained and rinsed black beans in bowl
  4. Toss in the diced onion
  5. And the cilantro
  6. And the lemon juice
  7. And the seasonings and mix
  8. Adjust the seasonings to your taste, it's what makes the recipe great. Things I've incorporated before to alter the orginal recipe: added fresh minced serranos, canned chipotles, jalapenos, chopped mangoes, basil, scallions, garlic, fresh tomatoes, black olives, green olives. Don't be afraid!!! The fun part is you get to keep tasting it to check what you need more of. :)

I also can't eat jarred salsa when I started making it homemade. This recipe sounds so good.

Update: This turned out very good, I thoroughly enjoyed it. My roommate ended up ruining dinner by scarfing this salsa down an hour before dinner was ready.

I'd also recommend pablano peppers for those who don't want it spicy, but still want a teeny bit of a zing. Another fruit suggestion besides mangoes is pineapples.


ooooh good suggestion matt - i'm so going to try that with basil. yum.
