Black Bean Corn Salsa
Updated May 21, 2019
Every evening Josh asks me what I want for dinner, lately my answer has been watermelon and sweet corn. I can’t get enough! We have a local produce stand by our house so I frequently send Josh down the road to pick up sweet corn for dinner. I’ve made a Grilled Sweet Corn Salad, but we usually eat the ears plain with watermelon. I love simple summer suppers:) The other night I decided to mix things up and make Black Bean Corn Salsa with our fresh sweet corn.
This salsa is super easy to make. If you don’t have fresh sweet corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but fresh corn is best. I mixed together black beans, sweet corn, green onions, garlic, tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime. I love how fresh and filling this salsa is. We served it with Homemade Baked Tortilla Chips. It makes a great appetizer, side dish, healthy snack, or even dinner. We had chips and salsa with watermelon for dinner. It was the perfect summer meal.
If you are looking for an easy salsa recipe, try this Black Bean Corn Salsa. It is super simple to make and eat:) And if you are a football fan, this would be a great recipe to make for game day! I know I will be making this salsa to munch on while we cheer on our favorite team!

Thanks Averie! Lindsay is the best:)
Mmm summer perfection! I usually want cantaloupe for dinner in the summer!
i absolutely love sweet summer fruits and veggies…corn is HIGH up on that list!
Great idea! This look awesome.
Love the simplicity of this!
Love this! And your homemade tortilla chips are making me want to whip up a batch of this right now!
This sounds delicious. I cannot wait to try it!
This looks like something my ‘chip and salsa-loving’ mom would absolutely adore. Thanks!
I love fresh salsa. It would be a great way to use up those tomatoes and corn from the garden. I may stir up some salsa for supper tonight.
My question to you Maria is how you and your husband survive on salsa, chips and watermelon for dinner? That’s like half of my husbands dinner on a weeknight.
We don’t have that every night:) Sometimes in the summer that is all we feel like eating though!
Great mix of flavor, Maria. Have a great weekend!
Can’t go wrong with simple meals or with salsas either. GREG
I love black bean salsa! Another great way to use up my fresh summer corn!
Forget the chips, all I need is a large bowl of this and a spoon!
I can’t sit still, I’m so in love with this salsa!
I might need to rest now.
I love fresh salsas like this. I make one very similar but with mango. Yum!
Ha! Thought I was the only one who could make a meal on salsa, watermelon and chips. Glad to know I am not alone!!
Yum! This with some quac and we are in heaven.
I love anything that involves sweet corn! Looks great 🙂
We love black bean and corn salsa. I should really make it more often. Thanks for the reminder.
What a great way to use corn…it’s so simple and healthy too. Your dinner sounds exactly like what I would have for dinner. I love tortilla chips and watermelon.
This is my favorite type of salsa! My roommate used to make it for me in college and I got hooked on it! YUM!
Yum, looks perfect for a potluck!
Thanks Maria. You got here a nice salsa and it must taste so good as well which is always expected from you.
Yum… This sounds and looks delicious. I can’t wait to try this recipe. I am sure the hubby will love it as well.
I could just eat this for dinner and be perfectly happy!
this has everything i want in a side dish–tasty work. 🙂
Love black bean corn salsa – we make a similar one in our house and have been enjoying it all summer long. Sometimes I add avocado if I have one on hand. Wishing you a healthy and comfortable rest of the pregnancy, can’t believe it’s almost time :).
I make this as often as possible! We love it!
Gorgeous photos, Maria!
Gotta love a pregnant lady and her cravings. I wonder if you even be able to look at watermelon again after this baby is born. 🙂
I just made this and OMG its awesome! I cant wait to take it to work and have my co workers try it!
I love this recipe. Have made several times adding cumin as an extra spice. I use banana peppers instead of jalapeños. It gives a nice kick. Who needs dinner when you have this.
I love salsa! I just made a corn and poblano one myself.
I absolutely love black bean salsa. The fresher, the better! Yum!
Which came first, the prbelom or the solution? Luckily it doesn’t matter.
This looks fantastic! I love your blog. I just posted on a Paprika Chips recipe that would go perfectly with your salsa. Enjoy!

i’ve been making almost this exact dip for forever!! the only difference is that i use cumin in it for a smoky flavor, and i let it sit overnight then put the tomatoes in…..mmmmm it’s so yummy!!
Have made this twice for pot lucks and keep coming back to it.
I have made this 5+ times, including today. My wife and I just love it! Easy 5 stars. Thank you.
