Black Bean and Corn Salsa

By KRed

made this once but substituted tomatoes with green chilis and used a red onion. It needed more zip. Maybe chop a jalapeno. Below is recipe with my modifications. Another website for inspiration: http://cookieandkate.com/2015/cowboy-caviar-recipe/ or also check out Jim Vlasic's recipe also in my cookbook.

Ingredients

• 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
