Super Summer Salsa

I ate this more like a corn salad, but it would also be good as a topping for chicken, fish, etc. I agree with the others that there’s a lot of sugar and that can easily be halved and it'll still be plenty sweet. It’s also very corn-heavy, 1 can of corn would be plenty, keeping the rest of the ingredients the same. I used a mix of white and yellow corn, just for extra color. More than just a pinch of salt is needed to really make the flavors pop. Some fresh herbs would also be nice. I also agree that the corn should be drained and the black beans drained and rinsed. This does taste even better after sitting overnight.

Made this for book group last night! A complete hit. Only change I made was halved the sugar amount. I used one can white sweet corn and another can sweet yellow corn. Served with lime tortilla chips. Caution: Make sure you use rice wine vinegar- not just rice vinegar. Will make this again!

Came across this recipe today while searching for a side dish to take to a Memorial weekend BBQ later. I had every ingredient on hand. It literally was done in 10 minutes. I used 1 can yellow corn and reduced sodium black beans drained. In a small bowl, I mixed 1/8 cup sugar with 1/2 cup rice vinegar and popped it in the microwave for 20 seconds to get the sugar to blend before tossing into the mixture. This is a tangy/sweet salsa that would go great on top of grilled chicken or fish. This makes a pretty presentation. What a gem.

Super Summer Salsa Haiku: "First day taste OK. Second day, salsa heaven! Just a few changes." So, without a doubt, I was floored at how much better this tasted the 2nd day, after it had had ample opportunity to fridge flavor-mesh. I didn't have rice wine vinegar (used red wine vinegar) and although I was skeptical at following another reviewer's suggestion of fresh basil (I would typically use cilantro w/ black beans), I was amazed at how wonderful the basil complimented the vinegar. Oh and I had to use green bell instead of red. Small changes aside, this was out of control rad.

My quests always love this. I change it a bit to fit the main dish. This weekend I doubled the recipe for 6 quests, i used a combo of white shoepeg and crisp yellow corn...( I'm a color nut ) added 3 finley chopped serranos, three colors of peppers, red, yellow and red.... and added about a half cup of chopped pineapple. I served it with wild caught king and Silver Salmon with rice and slice3s of grilled pineapple. Wonderful!!!

This salsa just isn't for us. It is entirely too sweet for me, even after reducing the amount of sugar. In order to save all of these beautiful vegetables and beans, I added a heafty sprinkling of hot sauce and garlic powder. This helped, but it was still much too sweet. Thanks anyway!
