Sweet Corn Salsa




I first tasted this amazing salsa many years ago when my neighbor Louise brought some over for our family.  She had made dinner for her son's football team and, lucky for us, the crazy boys had hardly touched it!  It immediately became a favorite and is a hit no matter where I take it.   Most of the time when I make this salsa, I just toss in stuff until I reach the desired taste & ratios.

3-4 green onions, chopped finely
4 cloves garlic, pressed
2 cans black beans, drained & rinsed
1 16 oz bag of super sweet white corn, thawed (I do think that corn cut right off the cob would make it even better!)
4 Roma tomatoes, diced
2 avocados, diced
Wishbone Italian Salad Dressing (I used about 3/4 of the bottle)
1 1/2 tsp kosher or coarse salt

Prepare all ingredients.  Toss together all ingredients except tomatoes & avocado.  When everything is combined nicely and you have reached your desired moistness, add in tomatoes & avocado.  Gently toss one more time.  Serve immediately with chip of choice!

I love the fresh stuff. Thanks for posting this so I have an official recipe to turn to. I have to take dinner to a family this week. I think I will make chicken enchiladas and this. Now, anyone have a good chicken enchilada recipe using corn tortillas?

I love salsa that isn't your run-of-the-mill jar salsa. This looks so good and with the beans and veggies, it's almost a meal.
