Corn Salsa

Corn Salsa

1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can corn (drained)
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1/4 c. chopped green or red pepper
1/4 c. chopped onion
Juice from 1 lime
1/4 c. chopped cilantro
1 avocado

Combine all ingredients except the avocado.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Let sit at least 1 hour before serving.  Add the avocado right before serving.

This is a very versatile recipe.  If you don't like black beans, use sliced black olives instead.  If you like it spicier, add a finely diced jalapeno.  Lots of fresh tomatoes on hand?  Use diced fresh tomatoes in place of the canned tomatoes.

Thanks Nancy J. for the excellent recipe!
